Hello!

I have a problem with virt-manage saying my KVM wasn't available.

System is Archlinux, libvirtd 0.9.0, Kernel 2.6.38.
CPU is a Phenom X4, supports virtualization.

modprobe kvm and kvm-amd works fine:

May  1 23:19:48 localhost kernel: [  750.262215] kvm: Nested Virtualization 
enabled
May  1 23:19:48 localhost kernel: [  750.262218] kvm: Nested Paging enabled

starting up libvirtd:

start virt-manager as user but granting root priviliges when asked on startup. 
When creating a new VM it says that KVM is not available.

qemu -enable-kvm has worked fine so far.

Why is that error message?

Thanks,

Florian
