I’m unable to start a virtual machine with KVM.
I tried both Centos 5.4 i386 and x86-64 versions.
BIOS virtualization is enabled.
I have installed all necessary rpms (to my knowledge), but as you can see from the output (below), the system does not boot the CD-ROM. It just sits there doing nothing:
virt-install --prompt
