Comment 18 for bug 183663

Vitaliy-

There is a kvm.ko, kvm_intel.ko, and kvm_amd.ko provided by every Ubuntu linux kernel. These are the kvm modules as provided by the upstream linux kernel used in Ubuntu. This version of the kvm module is generally several releases older, a bit more stable, and usually lacking some features of the latest kvm module provided by the upstream kvm source project.

The kvm-source package provides a later, more featureful, less-thoroughly-tested update of the kvm module source code. When you install this package, this source code is built against your current Ubuntu kernel headers. Once built, it replaces the kvm modules provided by your ubuntu kernel. It uses DKMS to do this.

Your reproduce case was against kvm-72, which is in Intrepid. I cannot reproduce this bug against Jaunty. Can you try there?
