ohh come on. i use linux since 94 and i use redhat/rpm since redhat 3.0 (not rhel3) i do know how to install and use packages and which files are called. there is no any other kvm in the given machine. ok i understand that you try to find some kind of reason why it's works for you and not for me but that's not the reason. anyway it'd be useful to if i can see which version of the userspace running ie. give a short message into the stslog on the host about the userspace version may be even a warning in case of the kmod and the userspace version are different, but currently that's all: ------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qa|grep kvm kmod-kvm-52-1.2.6.18_8.1.15.el5 kvm-52-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/qemu-kvm kvm-52-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -V kvm-52-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# modinfo kvm_intel filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/extra/kvm/kvm-intel.ko license: GPL author: Qumranet version: kvm-52 srcversion: F7E80D6C3124584F75EDAAF depends: kvm vermagic: 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 SMP mod_unload gcc-4.1 parm: bypass_guest_pf:bool ------------------------------------ what the above means? - there is only these two packages installed which has the kmv in it's name. - the files /usr/bin/qemu-kvm is owned by kvm-52-1. - all files in the kvm-52-1 package is verified so the file /usr/bin/qemu-kvm also has the right checksum so it's really from kvm-52-1. - the kernel module can show it's version too. anyway if you don't believe me just grab src.rpm look into it or recompile it: http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/SRPMS/ -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
