Hi All,
Is KVM support in CentOS 5.3 complete? That is, can a CentOS 5.3 system host KVM VMs or does CentOS 5.3 only support being virtualized via KVM?
I ask because I installed KVM on a CentOS 5.3 host, but I can't find a kvm module anywhere in /lib/modules/* (let alone the running kernel).
Regards,
Ranbir

Please notice that this HowTo is quite old and doesn't reflect at all what will happen with the upcoming kvm packages from 5.4 : i'm currently testing those packages (from RHEL 5.4beta) with the newer libvirt, virt-manager, virt-install on a CentOS 5.3 system and they work ok.
Maybe not.

In section:
2.3. Installing later versions of KVM
there is s teeny weeny link under "own website" lurks the link:
http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/x86_64/
indeed it does provide kvm-85.
Ok, OK I know the latest is kvm-88 but then we are talking Centos which by definition stays away from bleeding edge.
But please be aware that the CPU should support [vmx|svm] and be beware that operting KVM with VMware server on same CPU can (or is it will?) give nightmares
HTH
