KVM is only available in the 64 bit edition - is that what you are running?

As a side note:
You're using third party repos but do not have [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities]yum-plugin-priorities[/url] installed and/or configured.
This may result in core packages being overwritten by third party packages, causing unpredictable results.
Please correct.
