Hello Folks I am trying to get kvm going on my bleeding edge kubuntu system (feisty).
the normal apt-get install kvm does not work as the 2.6.20 kernel is missing kvm-api-9 So I grabbed kvm-18 source from sourceforge together with the kernel 2.6.21-rc6 make etc works but when starting kvm or qemu I get [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/kvm$ /usr/local/bin/qemu . -no-acpi -hda winxp.img -cdrom winxp.iso -boot d -m 512 kvm kernel version too old Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support I somehow did manage to get the isntallation process going. However it seems that it is so slow that it is basically not operational. Also, the installation never really finished. Question: 1. how do I know when kvm is using hardware virtualization (the only useful operational mode?) 2. how can I get kvm going given my setup? I tried kvm-16 on the 2.6.20-14 kernel. that compiled and installed ok Upon starting qemu no complaints about version being too old but it was slooooow (this is dual core 1.66GHz) greetings Eildert -- Eildert Groeneveld =================================================== Institute for Animal Breeding Mariensee 31535 Neustadt Germany Tel : (+49)(0)5034 871155 Fax : (+49)(0)5034 871239 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vce.tzv.fal.de/index.pl http://www.tzv.fal.de/~eg/ http://apiis.tzv.fal.de/index.pl =================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
