qemu KVM kernel module no such file or directory

Question

I am currently taking an operating systems class and I need to use qemu to run a small operating system that my professor provided. I am trying to use qemu within an ubuntu 12.0

Answer 1

In my case, the virtualization was disabled.

So sudo modprobe kvm-intel kept giving me the following error

could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not supported

I just had to go in the BIOS and enable Virtualization.
