Kernel panic with GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard

Using kvm-amd on a system using a GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard I get a kernel panic. I am assuming the motherboard is the problem due to other people with the same motherboard having the same problem such as in the case here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-416094.html

If you are using the version of KVM in Gutsy (kvm-28) it's missing a check to see if SVM is disabled in the BIOS. Versions of KVM <= 28 will crash on module load if VSM is diabled in the BIOS.

You'll need to enable virtualization in your BIOS. It's also a good idea to upgrade to a newer version of KVM. If you can't find an option for enabling virtualization in your BIOS, you may need to update the BIOS or contact your manufacture.
