there is something wrong with the current packages in the testing repo: ----------------------------------------------------- # yum install --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-testing kvm kmod-kvm Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "downloadonly" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package kvm.x86_64 0:66-1 set to be updated ---> Package kmod-kvm.x86_64 0:66-1.2.6.18_53.1.14.el5 set to be installed ---> Package kmod-kvm.x86_64 0:44-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5 set to be installed --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 for package: kmod-kvm --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 is needed by package kmod-kvm ----------------------------------------------------- you see the kernel version 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 ^^^ and don't know why yum try to install kvm-44 too?
