Re: [CentOS-virt] Virt-install
Version number. It's 0.5.3-10. Current version on lfarkas's repository is 0.7.0-4. I use it (0.7.0) for a month now, I think, and have not seen any issues so far. I also use kvm-84 from his repository and I have mot seen any problems except I am not able to connect with virtsh to qemu:///system, from root, just qemu:///test. All clients are CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6, but I must keep virtual host (CentOS 5.3) on 2.6.18-92.1.22 kernel because of issues with MB with AMD chipset (I was going to report this but never got the time to prepare all the info needed).
