Hi Budur, Try running the command "kvm-ok" I'm not sure what package it's from, but it will tell you if your system supports the CPU virtualization commands required to run KVM. If kvm-ok isn't installed, you can try running "egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo" vmx means you have Intel virtualization support, while svm is the AMD implementation. IE, on my Intel i5 I get a bunch of lines like this: (**'s added for emphasis)

You might also want to see what our code checks, see e.g. [1], which is part of ovirt-host-deploy and is used also by ovirt-hosted-engine-setup. If you want to use it directly, you can do something like: # yum install ovirt-host-deploy # python -c 'from ovirt_host_deploy import hardware; v = hardware.Virtualization(); print "OK" if v.detect()==v.DETECT_RESULT_SUPPORTED else "Not OK"'
