I don't know if this is part of the problem but I don't have a .VDI

I don't have that utility on my system. I tried to install the qemu
rpm but yum fails because it conflicts with the KVM package
(kvm-qemu-img-83-164.el5_5.9.x86_64) already installed.

Searching for qemu related files, it seems the only utility/tool I
have is qemu-img and qemu-kvm
