Solution 1:
Check if the kvm modules are correctly loaded (probably, they aren't) with:
# lsmod | grep kvm
It should print something like:
kvm_intel 121968 0
kvm 287708 1 kvm_intel
If not, check that you have correctly installed qemu-kvm. On Ubuntu/Debian:
# sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm
You can also try to load that modules manually with:
# sudo modprobe kvm
Another common problem, is that you are trying to use kvm on an host with a CPU without virtualization support, or with virtualization support disabled by BIOS (check your motherboard/CPU documentation). On Linux, it's easy to look for this with just this command:
# egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
Finally, I see that you are using an image called "ttylinux - VMware", but you are trying to use KVM, so you should probably try with this one.
