Yes, virtualization is enabled in the bios. (otherwise virt-install would
exit with an error saying it's not enabled).
I switched from Centos 5.4 i386 version to the x86-64 version. but still the
same problem exists. I have those 4 rpm's install you mentioned.
Can you tell me more about using
The hardware is DELL PowerEdge R210 Quad Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3430 @
2.40GHz (/proc/cpuinfo).
I installed KVM with .RPMs after installing the system with a base Centos
5.4 installation (server).
yum install kvm
yum install virt-install
the kvm and kvm_intel modules are loaded. Also
Im guessing the hardware has virtual abilities enabled in the bios
This problem you have once happened to me, and from what I can remember it
had something to do with storage. These days I use block devices, which is

I'm unable to start a virtual machine with KVM.
I'm using Centos 5.4
I have installed all necessary rpms (to my knowledge), but as you can see
from the output (below), the system does not boot the CD-ROM. It just sits
there doing nothing:
# virt-install --prompt
Would you like to use KVM
Just curious as to what hardware you're running it on. And
when you say you've installed the necessary rpms, does this
mean you installed KVM by hand after the install, or through
the installer when you first installed it?
