I use qemu-kvm on a Centos 5.2 server to run Windows XP virtually. Usually a new kmod-kvm packages is released shortly after a kernel update, and yum updates them both very nicely. However, two new kernel updates have been released now without a kmod-kvm update. Does anyone know if this package is still being supported?
Thanks Jamie

Jamie,
You may want to check the centos-vert list archives, and/or ask there.

From this recent thread

it seems kvm support is currently problematic.
Perhaps have a look at the free (as in beer) VMware Server - works-for-me (but have yet to upgrade to the new 2.0 release).
