For me, booting 3.2.27 in a VM guest works just fine: $ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.2.27 (wg@sputnik) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) ) #1 SMP Mon Aug 13 11:55:10 CEST 2012 $ zgrep KVM /proc/config.gz CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD=y CONFIG_KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE=y CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y CONFIG_KVM=m CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m I boot from network, and I just successfully insmod'ed the kvm module. Inserting kvm-intel fails however (to be expected I guess). No hangs or crashes. Can you please post your complete qemu command and host kernel version?
