Hello all,
I have a new Sun fire X4140 server with two amd opteron 2435 CPUs running
debian jessie, libvirt 1.2.9-3, virtinst 1.0.1-3, qemu/kvm 2.1. When
attempting to create virtual machines (with --debug), I receive this:
[Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:56:36 virt-install 1842] DEBUG (cli:234) File

installation does not appear to have been successful.
svm and svm_lock are present in /proc/cpuinfo, in the initial output of
virt-install with --debug, it says it will use the proper cpu:
<cpu mode="custom" match="exact">
<model>Opteron_G3</model>
</cpu>
I've tried using --cpu host, --cpu best, --cpu Opteron_G3, all fail with
the same error. Anyone know what I can do here? I'd like to stick with KVM,
but maybe Xen would work? I'm not sure if this error is coming from
libvirt, or KVM itself.
Thanks!
