Hello All, I want to install kvm in CentOS 5.3. The instructions on the wiki are fine and dandy, but the kmod-kvm package is for an older kernel. The box I want to install it on is up-to-date with the latest kernel packages. How do I install kvm on a fully updated CentOS 5.3 box? Is installing the older kernel my only option? BTW, I'd post this on the virt-list, but I have a hard time getting answers on that list.

The new kernel was published this night and the dependencies are not yet meet completely. The alternative would be to get the archive from http://www.linux-kvm.org/ yourself and build it. I did it several times, it is not that hard and you get the most recent version. Greetings, Andre -- Peakwork GmbH * Andre Vehreschild
