Fedora 8 is Out; KVM is the default virtualization technology


I’m installing Fedora 8 and just noticed that when you add “Virtualization” during the install, the default is KVM (not Xen). Very interesting and very cool. Xen is also an option.

You can grab Fedora 8 yourself over here:

    Yeh, but still trying to get it to work on my Intel P4. From what I’ve read it should work without a vmx processor. But I’m still stuck on,
    # modprobe kvm-intel
    FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/kernel/drivers/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported

    Any tips.

    I don’t believe your processor will work Roger, sorry, but KVM requires Intel’s vmx extensions. You can check for vmx with this command # egrep ‘(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo
