I am afraid I am not seeing the logic behind this sort of install cockup. If qemu is not supposed to be used at all then why is it even available
because you enabled rpmforge and installed qemu. *You* did that, not CentOS. I suppose you were going by some tutorial that isn't quite right (anymore)?

see any sign of qemu?
I did the same for virt-manager. Again, no sign of qemu.
I suggest you go to the centos-virt list, your questions are all virtualization- specific. Maybe the archive already helps?
