kvm-intel problem on suse 11 x86_64

Hi,

Firstly I’d like to say hello to the Suse community. I’ve installed OpenSuse to give it a try as a desktop system.

I’m unable to use qemu-kvm due to kvm-intel kernel module issues. When I try to modprobe the module I get following error:

FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-default/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

In dmesg I see a log of these:

kvm_intel: disagrees about version of symbol kvm_emulate_cpuid
kvm_intel: Unknown symbol kvm_emulate_cpuid
kvm_intel: disagrees about version of symbol kvm_vcpu_init
kvm_intel: Unknown symbol kvm_vcpu_init
kvm_intel: disagrees about version of symbol kvm_set_msr_common
kvm_intel: Unknown symbol kvm_set_msr_common
kvm_intel: disagrees about version of symbol kvm_cpu_get_interrupt
kvm_intel: Unknown symbol kvm_cpu_get_interrupt
kvm_intel: disagrees about version of symbol kvm_emulate_pio
kvm_intel: Unknown symbol kvm_emulate_pio

I use following packages in my system:
kernel-default-2.6.25.11-0.1
kvm-63-31.1
kvm-kmp-default-63_2.6.25.5_1.1-31.1

It seems that kvm-kmp-default is for older kernel but yast didn’t complain. One could probably install kvm modules from source but I wonder if there’s an elegant sussian way of fixing the issue.

I was able to get this problem solved by updating my KVM module to the one in this link:

Index of /repositories/Virtualization:/KVM/openSUSE_11.0/x86_64

and resolving the dependencies for libpulse. It seems that the dependency was somehow lost in the latest release?
