a restart is (almost) never the answer. i think a better approach would
be the following simple instructions
if you have previously installed the kvm modules on your system, they
need to be refreshed following an upgrade of your kvm packages. please
execute the following commands as root after the new packages are
installed:
# m-a a-i kvm-source
# modprobe kvm
