I'm going to add a few more checks to /usr/bin/kvm-ok in the qemu-kvm package.
1) check that /dev/kvm exists
2) check the permissions on /dev/kvm
3) check dmesg for kvm disabled messages
I see this sort of thing with KVM fairly frequently, and usually point people to run kvm-ok to get a hint. We should update these hints.
I'm copying this bug over to qemu-kvm.
