Unfortunately, it's hard for me to tell you exactly without having more information about your system/hardware and/or the ability to talk to you in real-time so we can sort this out together. Either reach out to me privately and I can show you how to fix it, or as Jamie suggested, go to something like www.StackOverflow.com and post it. StackOverflow is amazing, and something I recommend in general. More useful than this discussion area will ever be, but just make sure you read and adhere to their rules, because it's not some casual Q&A site.

Solution? Read the error. lol Go into BIOS and enable it, more than likely it's preventing that boot option and just needs to be enabled again. Look for something like virtualization or something of the sort. KVM is Kernel-based Virtual Machine.
