kvm extension does not create /dev/kvm on boot

[vladfaust2]

Hello,

I'm trying to install KVM onto Corepure64. I've installed kvm extension, and looks like kernel modules are loaded. This is the output from boot: corepure64 pause showapps tce=sda home=sda:



And this is what I got after booting:



As you can see, there is no `/dev/kvm`.

I'm running CorePure64-10.0.iso on VirtualBox 6.0.8 on AMD processor with Nested VT-x/AMD-V enabled.

FYI, an Ubuntu-18.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso image run on the same VirtualBox configuration pre-installs kvm and it works flawlessly:



Any help would be highly appreciated!

For some reason I thought that modprobe -l would list installed modules, but that's not true. lsmod gives better view, confirming that the module isn't loaded at all:

Aaand the issue is solved with manual sudo modprobe kvm-amd command!

Yeah, some modules don't autoload by the kernel. IIRC kvm gets autoloaded when you try to start a VM.
