Installed pve-kernel-3.10.0-5-pve_3.10.0-20_amd64.deb, it acts like I have no VT-
qm start 100
Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory

On the 2.6.32 kernel I can start that vm just fine, I definitely have vmx support:
Code:
 grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl [U][B]vmx[/B][/U] est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt lahf_lm ida dts tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid

Code:
modprobe kvm-intel[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]
[/FONT][/COLOR]could not insert 'kvm_intel': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg doesnt seem to say anything about it.
 
post the output of:

> pveversion -v

you do not run latest packages, but should work anyways. I never had problem with 3.10 and kvm module.

if an upgrade to latest packages (do this) does not help, check again your mainboard bios settings regarding VT.
