I installed the following updates on a SL 5.5 x86_64 system: kernel-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.x86_64.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.x86_64.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.x86_64.rpm kmod-kvm-83-224.el5.x86_64.rpm kvm-83-224.el5.x86_64.rpm kvm-qemu-img-83-224.el5.x86_64.rpm kvm-tools-83-224.el5.x86_64.rpm I noticed kvm.ko was built against the 2.6.18-238 kernel. A correct symlink was created for the 2.6.18-238.1.1 kernel. One odd observation is that kvm.ko of the earlier kernels (2.6.18-194.xx) now points to non-existing files (broken symlinks). This may not be a problem unique to SL but was probably inherited from TUV. In any event, kvm guests run fine without any problem under the kernel 2.6.18-238.1.1. Akemi
