kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu12.4~intrepid1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu intrepid

 Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual PCs, each running unmodified Linux or
 Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a
 network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
 .
 KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
 Linux hosts on x86 (32 and 64-bit) hardware.
 .
 KVM is intended for systems where the processor has hardware support for
 virtualization, see below for details. All combinations of 32-bit and 64-bit
 host and guest systems are supported, except 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts.
 .
 KVM requires your system to support hardware virtualization, provided by AMD's
 SVM capability or Intel's VT. To find out if your processor has the necessary
 support, do as follows:
 .
 * Make sure you run Linux 2.6.16 or newer for AMD processors, or
 Linux 2.6.15 for Intel processors. Older Linux versions do not report
 the virtualization capabilities.
 .
 * Run this command in a shell: egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
 .
 If it prints anything, the processor provides hardware virtualization
 support and is suitable for use with KVM.
 .
 Without hardware support, you can use qemu instead, possibly with the kqemu
 package for better performance.
 .
 The recommended qemu package contains the script
 /usr/sbin/qemu-make-debian-root, which uses debootstrap to build a Debian disk
 image. See the man page for qemu-make-debian-root. The suggested hal package
 is only used for automatically reporting the system bios version and computer
 model when reporting bugs.
 .
 KVM consists of two loadable kernel modules (kvm.ko and either kvm-amd.ko or
 kvm-intel.ko) and a userspace component. This package contains the userspace
 component, and you can get the kernel modules from the standard kernel images
 or build them yourself from the kvm-source package which provides the module
 source.
