I'm trying to run qemu-system-x86_64 with the -enable-kvm option, but I'm getting the error "Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory" "failed to initialize KVM"

I'm using microcore64 3.8.4 and have installed qemu.tcz, qemu-extra.tcz, and kvm-2.6.33.3-tinycore64.tcz.

There is no autoloading for KVM modules, so you may need to modprobe them yourself. This is an udev issue, and hopefully resolved in future udev and kernel versions.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks.  That was it.  :)

For the other newbs, that's:

Code: [Select]
sudo modprobe kvm_intel (or kvm_amd, etc.)
