This morning I applied the recent updates to CentOS-5.6 on a test and development host and observed this:
Updating : kmod-kvm 4/20 WARNING: Can't read module /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.32.1.el5/weak-updates/kmod-kvm/kvm.ko: No such file or directory WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.32.1.el5/weak-updates/kmod-kvm/ksm.ko needs unknown symbol kvm_ksm_spte_count

Is this something I should be concerned about or can it be disregarded without consequence?
my guess is you have the old 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 kernel installed, hopefully in addition to the newer 2.6.18-238.* versions. "rpm -q kernel" will tell. the new kmod-kvm may not work with the older kernel. Just uninstall it (the old kernel) if you don't need it, and you won't get those warnings. kmod-kvm probably won't work with the old kernel anyways. Of course you should install and use the newer kernel.
