You have 2 options:

1. Install the virtio-win rpm, which is available in the RHEL
Supplementary subchannel.

2. Source the expanded Windows virtio drivers some other way, and put
them in the expected place. In the above case, it's expecting to find
the virtio driver (collection of files including *.inf) for i386 Windows
XP in the above directory.
