KVM-66 is available in the testing repository. There is now a wiki article (draft) for those who are wishing to install KVM on CentOS-5 (thanks to Scott Roberts for writing this up). http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM Akemi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

First, this may be best discussed in the CentOS-Virt mailing list. If you are willing to *test* it, the kvm rpm is available for CentOS 5 in the testing repo (testers are always welcome). :-) Install kvm and kmod-kvm from testing. The only "problem" is that the kmod -kvm is not up-to-date. It is for kernel 2.6.18-8.1.14. I suppose Daniel can build it for the current kernel which you have.

[CentOS] howto use kvm-amd on centos 5.1
Is there a way to use kvm-amd on centos 5.1? I dont want to mess with XEN. I want the hardware virtualization that is on my AMD chip. I played with putting 2.6.24 and centos 5.1 on my AMD laptop, got kvm-amd and that works. However I want to put this on my desktop that is running 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5. Is there a way or do I just wave to use 2.6.24 or 25. Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
