Re: kvm amd nested

On the vm: The problem is: kvm module is loaded but not kvm_amd. When I do:

modprobe kvm_amd

I get

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Invalid argument

On the server: Looks like something is missing even though it says nested on "1".

You need to expose the virtualization feature the VMs. For Intel
machines, it works as described on my page at
http://masysma.lima-city.de/37/how_to_transition_from_virtualbox_to_kvm.xhtml
(Section ``Enabling Nested Virtualization...'')

For AMD, I do not know how to do it, but if I understand it correctly,
it cannot be too much of a difference.
