[CentOS] howto use kvm-amd on centos 5.1

what effort did you make to research this first ? What did you try ?
What specific problems did you run into ?

First, this may be best discussed in the CentOS-Virt mailing list.

If you are willing to *test* it, the kvm rpm is available for CentOS 5
in the testing repo (testers are always welcome). :-) Install kvm and
kmod-kvm from testing. The only "problem" is that the kmod -kvm is
not up-to-date. It is for kernel 2.6.18-8.1.14. I suppose Daniel can
build it for the current kernel which you have.

Akemi

yum install kmod-kvm

should do the trick, because KVM is in extras. I am currently working
on KVM-66 packages as well, that will be pushed to testing if they
work ok.

Take care,
Daniel

Just wanted to update on this. KVM-66 is available in the testing
repository. There is now a wiki article (draft) for those who are
wishing to install KVM on CentOS-5 (thanks to Scott Roberts for
writing this up).

Jerry,

Wondering if you had a chance to give kvm a try. If so, could you report
back with what you've found?

Thanks,
Akemi
