Dear linux developers,
since my upgrade from linux 4.11 to linux 4.12 the "kvm_intel" module
does not load correctly anymore. "Modprobing" the kernel module gives an
Input/Output error. It seems to be related to the CPU architecture and
(to my knowledge) affects Conroe CPUs. I did a bisect and found the
following commit as the guilty one:
What is your cpuinfo? I tested on a Conroe Xeon X3220 (family 6,
model 15, stepping 11) when I posted that patch, and it did have virtual
NMIs.
Thank you for looking into the issue. My cpuinfo is as follows:
