you see the kernel version 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 ^^^ and don't know why yum try to install kvm-44 too?
Hmmm... I just tried the same command on a CentOS-5 x86_64 machine running the 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 kernel. It worked just fine.

after remove the previous version then it's works otherwise not. unfortunately the bigger problem kvm-66 is not working for us. the latest usable version was 62 (so we witch back to 62). our setup: - host: - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz - Intel S3000AHV - 8GB RAM - CentOS-5.1 - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 x86_64 64bit - guest-1: - CentOS-5.1 - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 i386 32bit - guest-2: - CentOS-5.1 - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 x86_64 64bit - guest-3: - Mandrake-9 - kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk 32bit - guest-4: - Mandrake-10 - kernel-2.6.14.2-p4-smp 32bit - guest-5: - Windows XP Professional 32bit mandrake 9, 10 and winxp run but neither centos-5.1 i386 nor x86_64 are boot:-( i386 give a kernel panic x86_64 simple hang during boot.
