Kernel version required for installing KVM
Hi friends,
I have a created a RHEL 6.4 for installing KVM in Virtual box. My machine is a 64 bit, but virtual box was not allowing to install x86_64 version RHEL. So I had to install 32 bit i686 version of RHEL. The kernel came with the CD was 2.6.32-358.el6.i686. But KVM doesnt support 'el' kernels( Also I heard Redhat is not supporting Virtual box. Is that true?). So I am in search for a right version of kernel for KVM. Can you give me the versions which worked for you. I tried installing the below versions
kernel-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.1686.rpm -- failed with dependency linux-firmware
kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EL.i686.rpm -- failed with some 4 packages. This was the latest package I got from Redhat.
vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab078.26.i686.rpm -- failed with dependency kernel-firmware
Appreciate replies with some download links of kernel
Let me know if you want to know more about system.
Thanks
Shyam

yumdownloader
yumdownloader(1) yumdownloader(1)
NAME
yumdownloader - download RPM packages from Yum repositories
SYNOPSIS
yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2...]
DESCRIPTION
yumdownloader is a program for downloading RPMs from Yum repositories.
GENERAL OPTIONS
-h, --help
Help; display a help message and then quit.
--destdir DIR
Specify a destination directory for the download. Defaults to the current directory.
--urls Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would be downloaded.
--resolve
When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also download the required packages.
--source
Instead of downloading the binary RPMs, download the source RPMs.
--archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
Limit the query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid values are all architectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src'
for source RPMS. Note that repoquery will now change yum's "arch" to the first value in the archlist. So "--archlist=i386,i686" will
change yum's canonical arch to i386, but allow packages of i386 and i686.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the yum(8) man page for more information
EXAMPLES
Download the kernel RPM to /var/tmp:
yumdownloader --destdir /var/tmp kernel
List the URL for the kernel and kernel-smp RPMs:
yumdownloader --urls kernel kernel-smp
FILES
As yumdownloader uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO

AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
