Can anyone think of a reason why Nova (Grizzly) would be starting my VMs with the "-no-kvm' flag even though KVM is fully functional?


VMX is supported
----------------

[admin at localhost ~]$ grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo | head -n1
flags           : <snip>vmx<snip>


VT is not disabled in the BIOS
------------------------------

[admin at localhost ~]$ dmesg | grep -i bios
<no results>


The kvm device is there and configured
--------------------------------------

[admin at localhost ~]$ ls -l /dev/kvm
crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 Oct 14 11:27 /dev/kvm


I'll be happy to provide further information if necessary.

Thanks,
Dan
