Hi, whenever I perform 'launch' operation to launch a disk, guestfs looks for KVM support and prints this message "Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support" . Is there a way to turn it off.. I dont want guestfs to look for KVM .
This message probably comes from your KVM binary. I'm curious why you want to disable KVM, since it's transparent and just makes things faster (if available). Anyway, if you want to remove this sort of message, you have to write a "qemu wrapper". This is just a short piece of shell script which edits the parameters that are passed to QEMU. Boxgrinder, for example, contains one of these because of problems launching KVM on Amazon EC2 guests.
