Hi All, I'm trying to install a VM on host OS (Redhat 6.1, KVM hypervisor). I've installed all the required RPMs for KVM and libvirt tools. Here is the list of libvirt RPMs and KVM modules *kvm.ko kvm-intel.ko libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm libvirt-java-devel-0.4.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm virt-top-1.0.4-3.8.el6.x86_64.rpm libvirt-client-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm libvirt-python-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm virt-viewer-0.2.1-3.el6.x86_64.rpm libvirt-devel-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm python-virtinst-0.500.5-3.el6.noarch.rpm virt-what-1.3-4.4.el6.x86_64.rpm libvirt-java-0.4.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch.rpm qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64.rpm qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64.rpm *When I execute virt-install command I see the below error: *[root at nsn /]# virt-install* *ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options* I've already cross checked the VMX setting in BIOS and it is enabled.

I had a similar issue on my rhel6.1 host, I had to enable virtualization in the system bios.

I have a similar issue on Arch Linux. After connect to the hypervisor, virt-manager will report there is no hardware virtualization(i.e. kvm) detected. Howerver, after manually change the xml file from `type=qemu` to `type=kvm` and start the guest OS, virt-manager will correct display the "kvm hypervisor". Since virt-manger use virt-install internally, my problem is similar to you.
