Re: [Users] Host Error

21 Oct 2013

      Okay, below is the modprobe and attached is the capabilities from the vdsm.log

modprobe kvm_intel
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel
(/lib/modules/2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

According to this message, I should see something in dmesg, but I
don't see anything when I run the modprobe.

If I search through my dmesg I do see this though "kvm_intel: Unknown
parameter `nested'"

Please shout if you need anything else though.

Thank so much.

Regards.

Neil Wilson.

seems fine to me.

I'd expect kvm_intel here, too. Could you manually modprobe it and
retry?
Another thing that I should have asked for is the output of
getVdsCapabilities in your vdsm.log.
