Hey QEMU dev group, I have a few questions related to nesting QEMU processes, but first here is my system setup:
- *HOST MACHINE:* GNU/Linux release 4.5.5 (KVM version follows), Distro Fedora 24, x86_64 arch, supports Intel VT-x, QEMU 2.6.2, libvirt 1.3.3 - *GUEST ISO:* GNU/Linux release 2.6.13 (KVM version follows), Distro SliTaz 4.0, i686 32-bit arch, does not appear to support Intel VT-x, QEMU 0.12.5, does not have libvirt My question is primarily in response to this comment from your qemu-devel threads: "qemu-system-x86_64 does not support KVM on a 32-bit host", Daniel Berrange. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02186.html *[QUESTION#1.]* Since my guest OS is 32-bit, do I have to use qemu-system-i386 –enable-kvm on my host so that the guest can create a QEMU process of its own supporting KVM? Or are there additional qemu-system-i386 arguments I need from my host: –cpu <???> -machine <???> *[QUESTION#2.]* Since my guest OS does not support Intel VT-x, can I force this with qemu-system-i386 arguments? I’m not sure how exactly to do this. Thanks, -Joey
