Hi Paul, KVM is only available on 64 bit builds of CentOS 6: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/chap-Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide-System_Requirements.html You'd have to reload your test server with CentOS 6 x86_64 and then you'd have packages like qemu-kvm available to you. -Greg On 09/21/2015 06:01 PM, paul.greene.va at verizon.net wrote:> Hello All, > > I'm trying to install KVM on a test CentOS 6 server, running the > following command, and getting the following result.
