I installed kvm.x86_64-83-105.el5_4.9 successfully. I also
installed virt-manager. I tried to install qemu but failed due to
this file conflict:
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-img.1.gz from install of
qemu-0.9.0-4.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
kvm-qemu-img-83-105.el5_4.9.x86_64
I infer from this that qemu is NOT required with KVM and that
kvm-qemu takes its place.
Proceeding to the next stage I tried to load the kvm-module:
# modprobe kvm-intel
Which fails like this:
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/weak-updates/kmod-kvm/kvm-intel.ko):
Operation not supported
So, what is going on? What am I missing? The CentOS HowTos on kvm
do not cover the current kernel insofar as I can see.
Sincerely,
