hello, myself i'm using KVM right now, it's like qemu but i found it to work better with some operating systems.
so i can tell you how to compile the kernel module for KVM, for qemu it should be similar (i'm not posting the output of the commands here). # aptitude install kvm kvm-source module-assistant # cd /usr/src # tar -xf kvm.tar.bz2 # cd /usr/src/modules/kvm # m-a a-i --force kvm # reboot this should give you a working KVM installation. for details don't forget to read the manual ( /usr/share/doc/kvm/ ). NOTE: kvm is based on qemu and uses the same command syntax, so it's easy to confuse between KVM and QEMU. greets, vitaminx 2009/6/24 Sthu Deus <sthu.d...@gmail.com> > Thank You for Your time and answer, me: > > > NOTE: the *kvm-modules-2.6.26-2-686* package was created by compiling * > > kvm-source*. > > Things become more and more strange to me: > > 1.
