Hi all,
A package for the qemu machine emulator/virtualizer is now available in CentOS testing for CentOS 5. qemu was added
- Because the package contains qemu-img, a handy tool for creating and converting disk images (e.g. for KVM). - For full virtualization on i386 and x86_64 CPUs that don't have VT-X or AMD-V support. kqemu is required for optimal performance, we plan to provide a module package for kqemu in the near future.
For the moment, testing can be oriented at using this (qemu-img in particular) in combination with KVM. Once the kqemu module packages are ready, we are also interested in qemu + kqemu testing results. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at:

Take care, Daniel
