I finally decided to install the CR repo on one of my CentOS 6 machines that I use as a host for some VMs (also running CentOS 6). Before updating the host I updated a VM that was not critical to test the process and was able to boot that VM, so I went ahead with updating the host and the two VMs that were in use. When I rebooted the host none of the VM would start. Once I figured out that it had to be the host I started downgrading the virtual packages. I was finally able to get the VMs to boot after dwongrading qemu-kvm. Has anyone else seen this? Emmett

What is the version of qemu-kvm that worked/failed ? What is the kernel version? When the VM guests failed to start, did you see any error message? Also, VM-related questions may be better discussed on the cent-virt mailing list. Akemi

I have not had time to troubleshoot further. Nataraj
