I'm trying to create a vm using virt-install, when I virt-install I get the following: dagg@NCC-5001-D ~ $ virt-install ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options this might be a upstream issue thought. Reproducible: Always
Please provide the output of virsh capabilities.

Well the error message is correct. You don't have any virtualization support in your libvirt. Please provide emerge --info libvirt specifically I need to know what USE flags you built libvirt with.

What the output of "qemu-kvm -M ?" literally with the ?.
Also try to modprobe kvm-intel
modprobe kvm-intel seems to fix it, I get this: dagg@NCC-5001-D ~ $ virt-install ERROR --name is required --ram amount in MB is required --disk storage must be specified (override with --nodisks) An install method must be specified (--location URL, --cdrom CD/ISO, --pxe, --import, --boot hd|cdrom|...)
