I know when running KVM on Linux that there are issues with the CPU
not passing vmx ... and there are settings in the BIOS to deal with
this ...

*slaps forehead*

I've just realised that you have VirtualBox installed ... you cannot
have KVM and Virtualbox Installed, you have to choose.

I have VirtualBox on my laptop (with the error you get above), and KVM
on the server (with no error), but they don't mix.

I had real trouble on my laptop when I had KVM installed and tried
using VirtualBox, so I just de-installed the KVM on the laptop and
everything is working fine.
