| Doc Text: |
the kvm package has incorrect dependencies related to the libgcrypt package. Consequently, if the libgcrypt package installed on a system is earlier than version 1.4.4, the qemu-kvm process may refuse to start, returning a "libgcrypt initialization error" message. To work around this issue, update libgcrypt to the version provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4.
