I've just noticed that koan on RHEL-4 tries to overzealously import
virtualization features, even when not using the --virt-parameter. This
can result in --replace-self not working
on older systems.
If you are trying to get --replace-self in koan to work on system and
running into trouble because of missing virtualization modules, here's a
patch:

This will be included in the next release of koan and will checked in
shortly.
