Issue with /dev/kvm After os reinstall

mrrez

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a server from Netcup and initially received Debian 12 (Bookworm) - minimal. Upon first boot, I checked /dev/kvm and everything seemed fine. However, after installing images or using the DVD drive for new setup, I am now encountering the following issue:

ls /dev/kvm

ls: cannot access '/dev/kvm': No such file or directory

Could anyone advise on why this happened and how I can resolve it to enable KVM functionality again?

You can't. I'm suprised that you had it before in the first hand.

Have you paid for this feature (2€ per Core extra)?

Thanks.

No, I haven't paid for the extra feature. I want to use this Docker setup but need KVM support.

My root server: RS 4000 G11

I'm not sure if they still offer nested KVMs, you can ask the support.

But I would advise you to look for a dedicated server or some other (software) alternative. (Like wine)

You can also try to install the qemu-kvm packages and activate the kernel module, but I don't think that this approach will be very fast.
