after remove the previous version then it's works otherwise not.
unfortunately the bigger problem kvm-66 is not working for us. the 
latest usable version was 62 (so we witch back to 62). our setup:
- host:
   - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600  @ 2.40GHz
   - Intel S3000AHV
   - 8GB RAM
   - CentOS-5.1
   - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 x86_64 64bit
- guest-1:
   - CentOS-5.1
   - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 i386 32bit
- guest-2:
   - CentOS-5.1
   - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 x86_64 64bit
- guest-3:
   - Mandrake-9
   - kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk 32bit
- guest-4:
   - Mandrake-10
   - kernel-2.6.14.2-p4-smp 32bit
- guest-5:
   - Windows XP Professional 32bit
mandrake 9, 10 and winxp run but neither centos-5.1 i386 nor x86_64 are 
  boot:-( i386 give a kernel panic x86_64 simple hang during boot.
