Hope it's the right to push this directly to you, Luca. Last time I tested it resulted in stability problem and is incompatible enought to kqemu to make them mutually exclusive. I'll try in the weekend and see how it improved Maybe a virtual for kqemu/qvm86 is the answer? Doubt many people would want both on their systems. Default to kqemu as it's more stable I guess? Just a thought (In reply to comment #3) > Maybe a virtual for kqemu/qvm86 is the answer? Doubt many people would want > both on their systems.

It does not work with any of the current release versions of QEMU. QVM86 currently contains code for 2.4 and 2.6 linux kernels and windows (2000/XP) hosts." the problem is which version should we build against because QEMU cvs has changed a lot an is now working on a full virtualisation kernel module mabe we don't need a qvm86 suport IN qemu but a qvm86-qemu Just link about qvm86 update: "kqemu 1.3.0 compatibility and small bugfix" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu.qvm86/19/focus=19 Thank you for the update I'll look into it now kqemu now is gpl. |
