Hello All,
I want to install kvm in CentOS 5.3. The instructions on the wiki are fine and dandy, but the kmod-kvm package is for an older kernel. The box I want to install it on is up-to-date with the latest kernel packages.
How do I install kvm on a fully updated CentOS 5.3 box? Is installing the older kernel my only option?
BTW, I'd post this on the virt-list, but I have a hard time getting answers on that list.
Regards,
Ranbir

Hi Kanwar,
give the packagers a little time. The new kernel was published this night and the dependencies are not yet meet completely. The alternative would be to get the archive from http://www.linux-kvm.org/ yourself and build it. I did it several times, it is not that hard and you get the most recent version.
Greetings, Andre

Fair enough, but the kmod-kvm rpms in the extras repo are for ancient kernels. There hasn't been a new package since Oct. 2008.

More recent ones can be found in Farkas' repo at http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/ , but he also does not have the one for the most recent kernel.
