Re: [Qemu-discuss] High CPU in idle Windows guest

[Terry Glanfield]

Hi Dave,

With -enable-kvm I get.

Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory

Where to next?  I'm willing to help diagnose it in whatever way I can.

Regards,
Terry.
