I am trying to set up kvm and am a bit confused (probably by old information)
lscpu
Virtualization: AMD-V
L1d cache: 16K
L1i cache: 64K
L2 cache: 2048K
L3 cache: 8192K
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-5
grep -E "(vmx|svm|0xc0f)" --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
Worked
zgrep CONFIG_KVM /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
# CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS is not set
CONFIG_KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE=y
CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y
CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y
CONFIG_KVM_VFIO=y
CONFIG_KVM=m
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m
CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m
CONFIG_KVM_MMU_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_KVM_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT=y
zgrep CONFIG_VIRTIO /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES=y
lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_amd 59131 0
kvm 413027 1 kvm_amd
lsmod | grep virtio
[virtio_pci 17389 0
virtio_balloon 12997 0
virtio_scsi 17714 0
virtio_blk 17295 0
virtio_net 26460 0
virtio_ring 17342 5 virtio_blk,virtio_net,virtio_pci,virtio_balloon,virtio_scsi

scsi_mod 142915 4 libata,sd_mod,sr_mod,virtio_scsi
Is there any thing else that needs to be set up before I install virt-manager
Confused?
thanks
Dave

1. [ code ] tags around your raw output!
2. Did you deplete the usefulness of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM to its entirety?

Looks pretty now. Always wondered how that was done

that is what I am trying to follow.
Is there more modules needed?
Did it work correctly?
It lacks information on how to add modules.
I got it working the first time by following multiple how tos and in the end I do not know which bits I done was needed and which bits was not and they did.
By the way. You did not answer the question.
Am I on the right track?
After all I am in the newbie corner

Sadly, this beloved ancient laptop does not support Vt-x. It appears that your machine does and is ready to go. Try it, what could possibly go wrong?
But seriously, I would say yes, you are on the right track.

But why did you even start investigating your configuration and modules? The wiki clearly states
Note: Arch Linux kernels provide the appropriate kernel modules to support KVM and VIRTIO.
Offline
the problem was finding if they are activated and how to activate them.
I added them to /etc/modules-load.d/virtio.conf
# Load virtio-net.ko at boot
virtio-net
#load block device (virtio-blk)
virtio-blk
#Load controller device (virtio-scsi)
virtio-scsi
#load balloon device (virtio-balloon)
virtio-balloon
virtio-pci
virtio
Is there anything else that would be needed for folder sharing and pci (dvb) passthrough?
Thanks

Sorry miss-read your question spider.007
I got confused reading all of the wiki's
Then when I
lsmod | grep virtio
I got no return

To load kernel modules, use the modprobe command, e.g.:
modprobe virtio

You don't need to manually load these modules; using qemu will load them automatically. Did you run qemu; did it cause any problems?
