Hi!
As far as I can see there is no kvm in the base repository but the older version 36 in CentOS-Extras. Version 83 that belongs to 5.4 is only found on the install DVD and CD-Set. So it's different when installing kvm later with yum which results in kvm-36 than choosing 'Virtualization' on DVD install that installs kvm-83. It's also a difference between installing from network and DVD, even when the same Kickstart file is used when kvm is selected.
What is the reason of the base-repo/media difference?
cheers, Brian.

I do see kvm and related packages on the mirror sites. By the way kvm is available for x86_64 only (upstream).

kvm was used to be served by CentOS extras, RHEL as of 5.4 now includes kvm as an alternative to xen.
