Hi Doron,
I haven't purchased the Kabini-based system. I hoping that I would be
able to learn in advance whether an all-in-one installation of oVirt
would work on it. Unfortunately, returning it would be a hassle and I
would not get a full refund for it. If there is no way to discover in
advance whether oVirt will work on the system, I can take a risk. Is
an all-in-one oVirt installation known to work on any of the modern
AMD offerings?
Thanks!
iordan

The conscious mind has only one thread of execution.
Hi iordan,
all oVirt installers are using libvirt to verify the CPU family.
Can you provide the output of 'virsh capabilities' on your AMD Kabini?
