After following step by step the installation guyide, i am at chap.6 Openstack Networking.. having done all the steps, i try to start openVSwitch service.

What i get is the following:

 stack-network:~ # service openvswitch-switch force-reload-kmod FATAL: Module openvswitch not found. Inserting openvswitch module failed Module has probably not been built for this kernel.
