It looks like your yum repos are not set up properly, or you do not have a route from the VM to the internet?

first check your cpu supports HAV (Hardware assisted virtualization) or not
grep --color vmx /proc/cpuinfo <<<< for intel processors
grep --color svm /proc/cpuinfo <<<< for amd processors
if above command gives output then ur system supports HAV.
Next try to install Virtualization packages:
# yum groupinstall "Virtualization" -y
# yum groupinstall "Virtualization Client" -y
# yum groupinstall "Virtualization Platform" -y
# /etc/init.d/libvirtd restart
chkconfig libvirtd on
Now restart your machine it will work ( if your yum is properly configured )

atreyu thanks for responding; centos is installed on the physical machine. (not vm) and it is connected to the internet.

Thanks crazpiyush; the vmx flag is up; the yum commands below updated some of the virtualization packages.
however, after reboot; the problem persists.....

i am not sure what qemu-kvm package is for? The virt gui tool says could not find default hypervisor.
i am unable to install qemu-kvm package manually as well?

Please let me know what to do next?

Guys,

What information do you need to verify if yum is configured properly or not?
