Kernel 2.6.22 and kvm-modules
I'm running a Core2 machine, in 686 mode, on kernel 2.6.22 from testing. I have installed kvm-modules-28, and when I modprobe kvm, I get this response:
kvm: Unknown symbol set_64bit
I have been searching all over google, rebuilt my kernel with different options and nothing seems to cure what ails it. Does anyone know what's wrong here? KVM used to work.
Thanks,
Adam

Re: Kernel 2.6.22 and kvm-modules
Probably you have to recompile your kvm-modules-28 with the new kernel.

Re: Kernel 2.6.22 and kvm-modules
I've recompiled it, and I have also tried the kvm-modules-27 to know avail. I think there is a kernel switch. Does anyone know what that would be? Also when I recompile kvm-modules, it says there is an "implicit declaration of set_64bit"? When I comment that of the code (foolish I know), the whole system fails miserably.

Re: Kernel 2.6.22 and kvm-modules
You should update. The new kernel26 build uses the kvm-modules included in the kernel again and they should work.

Re: Kernel 2.6.22 and kvm-modules
That fixed my problem. I removed kvm-modules and re-synced my kernel, in case kvm-modules had trashed my kvm.ko files.
Also one thing that would really help would be to add the udev-rules from the kvm-modules and create the group kvm. I don't know if that's appropriate with the mainline kernel or not, though.

We'll have to re-add the rules and some other files in the qemu package (which includes the userspace kvm stuff).
