'rmmod kvm-intel; rmmod kvm' should work.

Avi,
thanks a lot for your _very_ speedy response!!

So I take it that
--> "You can't have them both at once, at the same time"
which turns out to be really unfortunate for my tasks.

ERGO: what I'm going to try is:

o) delete all static kvm stuff in the kernel .config / rebuild / reboot
o) un-merge app-emulation/kvm-84 "without modules"
o) emerge vmware-workstation
o) emerge   app-emulation/kvm-84 "with modules"
o) don't auto-load kvm and kvm-[intel|amd]
o) !! EITHER start vmware
o) !! OR load / start KVM,
o) !! thus manually avoiding those threatening kernel lockups.



Looks right -- does "without modules" mean kvm is built-in into the kernel?

Are there any plans @ KVM to change the (*) behavior in the future,
e.g. switching in and out of root mode each time
so as to not conflict with other virtualization software?

No, running multiple virtual machine monitors is a very esoteric use case and is therefore not worth the performance hit.
