CentOS strikes again
If things are running smoothly, things might get really nasty. Today’s special: KVM on CentOS 5.4
My plan was giving KVM a shot for virtualizing a couple of machines. So I inserted the CentOS CD and did a network install, added KVM and Virt-Manager.
Things really went smooth so far and I was about to think that I had success – but that’s exactly the time where Murphy hit me: Virt-Manager complained about an unknown version of QEMU and I started to wonder. To make sure that I got the right version installed, I started to check the binary:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -help

Aber irgendwie finde ich solche Patzer mit den Abhängigkeiten schon schwach…
