there is something wrong with the current packages in the testing repo: ----------------------------------------------------- # yum install --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c5-testing kvm kmod-kvm Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "downloadonly" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Hi all,
We have just added KVM-66 packages to the CentOS 5 testing repository. This version of the Kernel Virtual Machine has numerous improvements over KVM-36, which is currently in CentOS-Extras. One of the notable new features is support for paravirtualized block and network devices through the virtio architecture[1]. Currently, only Linux kernel 2.6.25 provides paravirtualized block and NIC drivers. A paravirtualized NIC driver is available for Windows[2].
We'd like to hear from current KVM users whether this version has any regressions for their applications compared to KVM-36. Of course, we are interested in other bug reports as well!
Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at:
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories
The KVM module package is named 'kmod-kvm', and has a dependency on the userland KVM tool. So, the following command should do the trick, and pull in all required dependencies:
yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install kmod-kvm
Thanks, Daniel
Just wanted to let you know that a wiki article on HowTo install/use KVM is also available as a draft:
