hi guys,
I came across Gerd Hoffmann's repo at http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/el5/ which seems to have a much newer KVM for EL5 - has anyone managed to get that working ? Even trying with the kver he used ( 2.6.18-53.el5 ) does not seem to satisfy all required symbols.

Couple of thing's - firstly your rpms are build with a kernel-version, which is not good. Secondly whats the difference in your builds and what Gerd has ?
The ultimate aim, of course, is to be able to roll out kvm/xenner ( for me ) and also be able to host KVM native vm's
Daniel / Tim - are there any chances of upgrading kvm in centos itself ?

Daniel use to make those packages. I don't know if he can still do that or not. Else I'll have a got at them.

On a related note, while I was testing kvm for Daniel, he offered a newer version of qemu ( qemu-0.9.1-1.src.rpm ). It should be in his directory at people.c.o.

as all centosplus kmod has kernel-version. if weak-updates can be used for all kmod i can change it. anyways my rpms based on daniel's old rpm and fedora's rpm. unfortunately still there is no properly working kvm (latest can't boot fedora latest kernel, after kvm-71 mandrake-10 not boot, but pre kvm-71 version crash with more vcpu etc..) so imho it'd be useful to wait a little bit may be around kvm-80 there will be a working version:-)

I think Johnny has already done some work to change that.

should work.

that does not sound encouraging at the moment.
but, I hear -69 works and works fine for EL5 at the moment, perhaps thats the version we should try and get working for centos-virt ?

it was not good for us either, that's why i always build newer version. if we finally find a working version (even if it has some performance drop) we'll stay at that version.
