More verbose/usable "VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension" error message

[birdie]

Currently is says this:

VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_SVM_IN_USE).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

Would be nice to see instead:

Native KVM drivers are loaded and they are incompatible with VirtualBox. You can disable/blacklist kvm* modules or you can temporarily unload them with this command (you may need to run them several times before both are unloaded):

Code: Select all

sudo rmmod kvm kvm_amd

Sadly I don't know which module is responsible for Intel KVM virtualization. kvm_intel maybe?
