[CentOS-virt] Where are the Centos 7.1 1503 KVM repos please?
Thanks for all the replies. Looking at the specs for the processor it does not seem to have the vmx features in /proc/cpuinfo: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-2-Duo-T6400-Notebook-Processor.35100.0.html and the output from grep -E ?vmx|svm? /proc/cpuinfo is empty. /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ ls kvm-amd.ko kvm-intel.ko kvm.ko [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ modprobe kvm-intel modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not permitted [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ lsmod | sort ... iwlwifi 112501 1 iwldvm jbd2 102940 1 ext4 kvm 461126 0 libahci 32009 1 ahci [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ modprobe kvm-amd modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Operation not permitted [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ modprobe kvm-intel modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not permitted Is it still possible to create some KVM type virtual machines with this laptop, to be ported to the VM host server machine later, or do I need another laptop with the required CPU flags?

Keith, You should use the user root to load module kvm_intel.
