Hi guys, I hope you can help me on this issue with kvm/libvirt:
using this command to install a kvm virtual machine:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--name p3k0401 \
--ram 2048 \
--file //dev/VolGroup01/p3k0401logvol \
--accelerate \
-s 10 \
--nographics \
--hvm \
--location='http://10.1.4.80'
I get:

I haven't used CentOS as a KVM host yet, only Fedora, but your setup still puzzles me...why do you have a brand new qemu-package (as in "not from the CentOS/RHEL repositories") installed? I would guess that this package would conflict with the kvm package and mess things up.
Your error message mentions /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 as the executable. If you run rpm -qf /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 does it then tell you that this file belong to the qemu package? If so, I believe this is your problem...you try to use qemu, which has partial KVM support, instead of using qemu-kvm (which is the "real" KVM userspace executable that originates from the kvm package). I don't think the arguments supported by qemu-system-x86_64 and qemu-kvm are the same, which probably could be the cause of the client not booting and libvirt/virt-manager failing.

Right, and there is a bit more about kvm-qemu (correct) versus qemu (incorrect) as explained by Fabian Arrotin in this bug report:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4111
Remove the installed qemu and install kvm-qemu-img and try again.

Hi,
Here are the packages I have at the moment, which are proven to work for me:
kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 kvm-83-164.el5 kmod-kvm-83-164.el5 etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos
Cheers, Vladimir
