virt-install: "ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options"

[Felix Blanke <felixblanke@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a problem with virt-install. I want to use it to create my vm and 
manage them. But whenever I execute the virt-install cmd I get the error 
msg mentioned in the subject.

Here are some more informations:

I have no clue what is going on. I have kvm compiled into my kernel. 
Normal "kvm" commands are working. Intel VT is enabled in the bios.


Any thoughts on this one?


Kind regards,
