Comment 9 for bug 268981

I was able to reproduce the issue with VMWare Server 2 (build 122956) and the kvm_intel module from kernel 2.6.24-22.45; despite unloading the kvm and kvm_intel modules, VMWare server was unable to start up a virtual machine. Using the kernel in hardy-proposed, 2.6.24-23.46, I was able to start VMWare server instances after unloading the kvm modules.

I also verified that kvm was able to start up instances, including after unloading and reloading the kvm modules.

Jay Wren: leaving the kvm modules loaded will prevent VMWare Server from being able to start up vms.
