[CentOS-virt] moving from Xen to KVM

[Dave Augustus]

What is needed to install kvm? I have the non xen kernel as  the  
default. I have virsh, virt-install installed. What am I missing in my  
config? Look at my second bullet point to get a sense of where I am  
stuck.

Thanks for your help,
Dave
