On SL5.3 I've downloaded KVM, built it including the kernel module and installed the .ko in /lib/modules... and the rest in /usr/local. Since the KVM executables are called with their full hardcoded path by some utils, I also had to symlink the executables in /usr/bin. After modprobing the .ko you can use virt-manager or the libvirt based utils to manage your VMs. I haven't had any problems with that setup. Cheers, Andreas
