There were some definite bugs which I hopefully corrected with the commit from this morning. Be sure to use the latest code from trunk. Also, you'll need to run install_perl_libs.pl again.
Regarding KVM installation/configuration, I have mainly been working off of Fedora 16. The version of KVM included with Fedora 16 seems more stable than Red Hat or CentOS 6.x. The code should work under these OS's but automatic conversion of existing ESXi images to KVM-compatible qcow2 images probably won't work. The version of qemu-img included with Fedora 16 is able to do the conversion correctly. The versions included with Red Had and CentOS do not. Regarding image conversion, you should be able load an existing vmdk ESXi image on KVM if the image resides in the repository path. The code should copy it to the datastore in the format specified for the image type in the VM profile for your KVM host. Be sure to set this to qcow2. I fixed some bugs which caused base image creation to fail in the commit this morning. Please try this out.
