Re: [CentOS] SELinux and KVM

• qemu is not part of CentOS, you probably got it from rpmforge.
• that means you do not need qemu for KVM usage
• SELinux cannot know about it
• there's probably a different preferred way to use KVM on CentOS

From a recent mail in this list:

Well, it turns out that qemu is required and kvm-qemu-img was the source of the problem. Removing this and installing qemu instead fixed the problem.

Actually I did the other way round: yum remove qemu (which is in the extras repo) yum install -x qemu kvm (excluding qemu and thus kvm-qemu-img will be taken)

=> make sure you have 'kvm-qemu-img' installed and not 'qemu', according to Kai's comment above, this may help you
