Your Beaglebone black has a Cortex-A8: http://www.ti.com/tool/BEAGLEBK which I'm afraid doesn't have the hardware support KVM needs to run. (Cortex-A8's list of modes doesn't have HYP: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0344k/Beidabib.html ) You can still use Qemu to emulate a machine, but it will be slow. > On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 12:16 PM, Ajay Garg <ajaygargnsit@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> I actually just ran the following on a beaglebone-black : >> sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst bridge-utils cpu-checker >> >> The installation went fine, however, kvm.lo is not loaded. KVM isn't available as a module on arm systems, it has to be built-in at compile time. Looking for 'KVM' dmesg output, or /dev/kvm would be the best way to detect it. Thanks, James
