Hi,

I'm looking at KVM within Red Hat V5.4, but I get the following problem.

[root@rbndtclxdo001 ~]# qemu-img create -f qcow /kvm/vm/vdisk.img 10G

Formatting '/kvm/vm/vdisk.img', fmt=qcow, size=10485760 kB

[root@rbndtclxdo001 ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -hda /kvm/vm/vdisk.img
-cdrom /kvm/iso/w2k8.iso -boot d -m 1024

open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory

Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support

Could not initialize SDL - exiting

What did I miss, or what did I forgot to configure?
