## you can order these modules be loaded during boot by editing /etc/sysconfig/kernel in variable MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=foo ..

## JFYI :: qemu-system-x86_64 binary used in article above is provided by package:

# rpm -qif `which qemu-system-x86_64` | sed ‘/^Name/!d’
Name : qemu

## and have nothing to do with KVM based virtualization ..

regards

to run machine under KVM, proceed as follows ::

## add with alias KVM needed repo and install packages
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/KVM/openSUSE_11.0 KVM
zypper refresh
zypper in -r KVM kvm
zypper in qemu

## load and check modules .. in my case amd
modprobe kmp
modprobe kmp-pae
lsmod | grep kmp

## add suggested user into kvm group to can use kvm as non-root
usermod -A kvm

## create disk and run guest ..
qemu-img create -f raw /path/to/disk.img 2G
qemu-kvm -hda /path/to/disk.img -cdrom /path/to/bootable.iso -boot d -m 128 -cpu athlon -localtime

<< package qemu is needed only for qemu-img binary .. it is not necessary to add qemu repo as well as installing qemu-modules

please fix it in article ..

Seems not to work until you remove the space in “QEMU Virtualisation”…
The alias it seems has to be one word only.
This is true in Yast and at the command prompt.
