You can install on your kernel. (the 2.6.20 has early KVM built-in,
but even in this case I recommend installing KVM-60)

Just download the kvm-60 from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599
This .tar includes sources for both userspace _and_ kernelspace.

You will need few dependencies:
kernel-source, ALSA-devel, SDL-devel, gcc3(recommended)+gcc4, ...

Then standard compile:
# cd kvm-60/
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# modprobe kvm-intel
-or-
# modprobe kvm-amd
Optional: (to allow normal users to use KVM)
# chmod a+rw /dev/kvm
"dmesg" will show KVM messages/logs.

Run KVM with:
/usr/local/bin/qemu(-system...) -hda (myharddisk.qcow2) -cdrom
(/dev/cdrom or mycd.iso)
