Installing kvm /dev/kvm missing
From the error message:
INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used
And your processor is an i686
See:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Processor_support
and
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/FAQ#Are_64bits_processors_supported_under_KVM.3F
So to use KVM you need to upgrade your processor
You can use Virtualbox and qemu, but they will be slower then KVM

I'm trying to install kvm extensions in my computer.
I'm following this guide
KVM is not available in my machine and I have a 32 bits one.
rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/kvm-ok INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be used rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ uname -m i686
Everything seems to be ok until the verifying
rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ ls -l /dev/kvm ls: no se puede acceder a /dev/kvm: No existe el archivo o el directo
that means in spanish the file or folder doesnt exist.
Where is the problem?
I add some information after the bodhi.zazen's answer.
I have 2 processor:
rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz
But none Intel or AMD:
rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ grep svm /proc/cpuinfo rocio@rocio-laptop:
Also, in Intel website, it seems to be a 64 bits processor

I'm lost!

Panther over 8 yearsA CPU that support KVM, yes. See the links. You need a CPUu with either the vmx or svm flags
