I am trying to setup kvm. Am I on the right track?

Question

I am trying to  set up kvm and am a bit confused (probably by old information)
lscpu
Virtualization: AMD-V
L1d cache: 16K
L1i cache: 64K
L2 cache: 2048K
L3 cache: 8192K
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-5
grep -E "(vmx|svm|0xc0f)" --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
Worked
zgrep CONFIG_KVM /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
# CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS is not set
CONFIG_KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE=y
CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y
CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y
CONFIG_KVM_VFIO=y
CONFIG_KVM=m
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m
CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m
CONFIG_KVM_MMU_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_KVM_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT=y
zgrep CONFIG_VIRTIO /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES=y
lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_amd 59131 0
kvm 413027 1 kvm_amd
lsmod | grep virtio
[virtio_pci 17389 0
virtio_balloon 12997 0
virtio_scsi 17714 0
virtio_blk 17295 0
virtio_net 26460 0
virtio_ring 17342 5 virtio_blk,virtio_net,virtio_pci,virtio_balloon,virtio_scsi
virtio 13058 5 virtio_blk,virtio_net,virtio_pci,virtio_balloon,virtio_scsi
scsi_mod 142915 4 libata,sd_mod,sr_mod,virtio_scsi
Is there any thing else that needs to be set up before I install virt-manager
Confused?
thanks
Dave

Answer 1

1. tags around your raw output!1. [ code ] tags around your raw output! 1.
Looks pretty now. Always wondered how that was done
2. Did you deplete the usefulness of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM to its entirety?
that is what I am trying to follow.
Is there more modules needed?
Did it work correctly?
It lacks information on how to add modules.
I got it  working the first time by following multiple how tos and in the end I do not know which bits I done was needed and which bits was not  and they did.
By the way. You did not answer the question.
Am I on the right track?
After all I am in the newbie corner
