kvm problem

I was following the instructions on kvm on archwiki but I think I wrote the command that should be written on the virtual machine on my host computer and my host computer thinks it is a virtual machine. Now it gives kernel panic. How do remove kvm? I booted with arch iso and mounted everything. What should I do in chroot?


why use vim when there is vis?

What command was that?

Re: kvm problem

@loqs, probably the OP appended '-device x-iommu' and/or simili to their cmd line.

@datxinitric, be more specific when you ask for support in the forums and post exactly what you did wrapped in code tags.

Re: kvm problem

I did write:

echo 550 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -mem-path /dev/hugepages -hda <disk_image> [...] 

and added

vm.nr_hugepages = 550

to my /etc/sysctl.d/40-hugepage.conf file
It says

No init Found

in the kernel panic

Re: kvm problem

You can disable /etc/sysctl.d/40-hugepage.conf by deleting it or changing the extension from .conf.

Re: kvm problem

Hugepages are ok, seems to me that you may have damaged something else.

What's in your /etc/fstab?

Re: kvm problem

My previous post contains an implied question: where the hell did your 40-hugepages.conf go?

Also, what else did you do before editing it? I suspect this will be fixed only by looking at ~/.bash_history...
