Yeah, I was a bit confused here.  KVM used to print a kernel message
when it was loaded, but I've noticed that the latest version doesn't.
Is the kvm module loaded?  eg. on my Intel system:

# /sbin/lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel              30784  0 
kvm                   108376  1 kvm_intel

As for why it's slow ... Try a single virtual CPU to start with, since
support for SMP guests in KVM is pretty new (less than 8 months old
IIRC).

Rich.

  

Here's what I found so far:
  In BIOS there is a setting "AMD Cool n Quiet".  I thought this was some type of fan thing.  It is not.  It controls the cpu speed.  So I disable this and now dmesg and /proc/cpuinfo both show same at 2510 MHz.  And I try creating a new F9 VM with 1 VCPU.  The install now seems to run at a normal speed but still I cannot get F9 to install in VM.  It says partition table on /dev/sda is unreadable and it needs to initialize.  So I say yes and it sits there for about 10 mins until it give you an error (i/o error on device) retry,ignore,cancel.  No choice helps.  So I try with F7 as well and same thing, it cannot initialize the virtual drive (mine is file-based).
