Right - that leads me onto my next question. I'm going to have a play
with Debian Lenny in a VM, to see how it works in a 64-bit world. But
now I'm having KVM troubles (this used to work!).

17 alastair at xutopia64:~> sudo modprobe kvm-intel
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel
(/lib/modules/2.6.27-10gt/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation
not supported

Does anyone know why this is failing?  I'm running on an Intel Core 2
machine with VT and virtualisation *is* enabled in the BIOS (which is
also the latest version). This is all on a 2.6.27-custom kernel under
64-bit Ubuntu. Sigh, another thing that seems to have "Just Broken"
:-)

Cheers
AL
