>KVM is the underlying hypervisor here. It uses QEMU tools for creating disk images and things, but it doesn't use the core QEMU emulator for running x86 OSes on x86.
KVM is a kernel component, so userland processes use it for things, not the other way around (specifically, it's a virtualization driver that turns the kernel into a hypervisor). It's more accurate to say that when the architecture of the guest OS matches that of the host CPU, QEMU uses the host CPU via KVM rather than emulating it. In any case, Cesar was talking about running QEMU via a front end vs. launching it bare, and that's independent of whether QEMU is using its own emulation or KVM as the backend to provide a CPU for the VM. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
