It has been the expected behavior of the "kvm" tool for years. Surely everybody is free to use "qemu-system-x86_64" with the appropriate options instead to get an error message, if hardware virtualization is not available. (I would guess that more than 99% of all x86/amd64 CPUs running Linux today _do_ have hardware virtualization, though.) > BTW, `-machine accel=kvm' is the same as -enable-kvm, which is shorter. > Since "qemu-system-x86_64" has other defaults than the "kvm" wrapper, you might consider to fix the warning message accordingly, e.g. "W: kvm binary is deprecated, please use 'qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm:tcg' instead" Regards Harri -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJSc05+AAoJEAqeKp5m04HLWq8H/RHNfkQVHh4G8e69C/+wxtaq y+QJnyeNla3Be0NN/dn9yEVQ2K7BcSV+ikXFWsCF3thRO6/KFpiZkPN9WoBk+TxQ Mc90QDz1+nN4I7tJ+SFlE4CBZs/b9tZ0j9fhGvtTP7eXcJhTyn4z570PqOeDSXl9 YvkFm3PID/HmPCDkewCLoA0vKolCWexg0qGbHfvlQx+K3+XpbNTmUk/dh+33G3At 91tKGiQoap7ZivhSks5TSpVgcWOw+1ZyhRnXHvZjhqM9rEMGC1WFhCKPxxeAqc91 Ypf3Xu2ftE0HkdAM53yOjszurGLj8s26hMFzO8pvZq50efQgcLvGu52cmMkTHhk= =MGsT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
