Heh, I'm hesitant to ask now, in case it's another instance of me 
failing to read, but... :)

When I first start virt-manager, I get an error/warning saying that 
'qemu-kvm' should be installed. I realize this isn't important, as we're 
running Xen, but I wanted to try to resolve it just the same. So I tried 
to install qemu-kvm from the rebuilt qemu RPMs made earlier in the 
tutorial. This led to a requirement I've not been able to meet:

rpm -ivh rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/qemu-system-x86-0.12.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
          rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/qemu-kvm-0.12.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
	seabios-bin is needed by qemu-system-x86-2:0.12.5-1.el6.x86_64
yum provides \*/seabios-bin
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin
No Matches found

I tried rebuilding 'seabios', but it didn't provide seabios-bin either.

Thanks, and sorry in advance if I am missing something obvious (again). :)
