[Bug 452323] Re: kvm disabled in bios (was: Unable to start EUC instances - no supported architecture for os type 'hvm')

[Joseph Salisbury]

I tested the script at:

 * http://rookery.canonical.com/~kirkland/kvm-ok

However, there seems to be an issue with test 2c.  Test 2c is running
the script with VT Extensions disabled in the bios.  Here is the output
for that case:


$ ./kvm-ok.new

INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist
HINT: sudo modprobe kvm
KVM acceleration can NOT be used

The script checks for /dev/kvm before checking dmesg for the bios
message.  This causes verdict to be called with an arg of 1 and the
script exits.  The user does not get the suggestion to enable KVM in the
bios.

Maybe swap execution order of the /dev/kvm check and the dmesg check?
