Might this have something to do with the following boot message?: Starting virt-who: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-who/virt-who.py", line 33, in <module> from subscriptionmanager import SubscriptionManager, SubscriptionManagerError File "/usr/share/virt-who/subscriptionmanager.py", line 24, in <module> import rhsm.connection as rhsm_connection ImportError: No module named rhsm.connection ^[[60G[^[[0;31mFAILED^[[0;39m]^M Starting libvirtd daemon: ^[[60G[^[[0;32m OK ^[[0;39m]
If not, I'd like to test the idea that my problem with Linux dying on me is that recent kernels do not like my computer. My most recent installation that still runs reliably is Fedora 14. If I copy a kernel from F14 into my CentOS installation, what else do I need to copy with it? I know that I will need to add to my grub.conf .

random centos6.4 system I looked at doesn't even have a directory /usr/share/virt-who, so this must be part of some optional package not required for centos to load and operate....
indeed, yum provides says... virt-who-0.8-5.el6.centos.noarch : Agent for reporting virtual guest IDs to subscription-manager
another centos 6.4 server, on which I'm doing some KVM tests and uses libvirt and stuff, doesn't have virt-who either.
'rhsm' 'subscription manager', thats sounds like RHEL stuff tied into their licensing scheme ??

Well, I just installed a fresh CentOS 6.4 system, and selected the 'Software Development Workstation' type in the install.
I see the same message and have that package installed, with no third-party repos enabled.
And my system is working fine; Michael, I don't think this is your issue.

I did likewise.

Agreed. That leaves at least two questions: How do I test whether the recent kernels do not like my computer? How do I make the virt-who stuff go away? If I ever get my computer to work again, I'd prefer to not have it as a distraction, even if it is otherwise harmless.
As mentioned, I have an F14 install that seems to work, but is no longer update-able.
