Re: Trouble installing KVM

[Greg Bailey <gbailey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

KVM is only available on 64 bit builds of CentOS 6:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/chap-Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide-System_Requirements.html

You'd have to reload your test server with CentOS 6 x86_64 and then you'd have packages like qemu-kvm available to you.

Hello All,

I'm trying to install KVM on a test CentOS 6 server, running the following command, and getting the following result. I suspect the repositories my system is trying to reach out to aren't carrying the packages for KVM, but I'm not sure.

Not sure what to do from here.
