Yes, it's not supported in RHEL5.3 by default, so I upgrade my kernel to 2.6.24 and enable KVM , download KVM package and install it. Then I can use qemu command to create a VM. I haven't tested RHEL5.4, you can try if there's such qemu command.

The use of kvm is one of the great, great news in RHEL, in fact, it´s still in Beta. So I don´t understad how you can use it on 5.3. on the other hand I don´t have the qemu-kvm command in my RHEL 5.3 systems. (the qemu commands comes with the supplementary packages but I don´t have the kvm command) How do I install the qemu-kvm command?
