Shixiong,

Is it a kvm crash during operation or does it fail to start at all?

Just as a sanity check, can you run virsh capabilities and give us the
output?

And also:
lsmod | grep kvm

One hiccup in the above...

Because the RHEL 6.4 GA release is imminent, the RHEL 6.4 Beta Repos
have been emptied.  It's part of the normal release engineering process.
 So for a short time, you might be stuck with getting updated packages
or reinstalling from scratch on a new host.

This issue should clear up in the next week as we get GA packages out
the door.  I'll send a more general note to the list about it.
