Could not access KVM kernel module while building SONiC NOS on vm with vagrant
I'm trying to build sonic build image for virtual switch from on ubuntu 16.04/xenial vm with vagrant, but I've got an error:
++ on_error
++ echo '============= kvm_log =============='
============= kvm_log ==============
++ cat /tmp/tmp.3CIfxaYzCK
Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory

+ rm -f /tmp/tmp.3CIfxaYzCK

I have done some research before and I thought there may be some troubles with kvm. But when I try sudo modprobe kvm-intel on vm it says: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not supported

You will need to enable nested virtualization which for a long time wasn't possible at all with the default provider for vagrant being virtualbox.
Once you enable nesting your reported issue should be resolved. You'll find plenty of howto's on the internet, here a few to give you a start:
