Re: [kvm-devel] kvm for Ubuntu 7.04 (was Re: a (bad) kvm story from a plain user)
hi.. so I've compiled kvm-35 on Ubuntu 7.04. i really had NO troubles, thanks to Koen and his great apt-get list. and indeed now when I was running, I had the QEMU\KVM banner. so I reinstalled RH9.0.

maybe if i could slip in a last question - can I share a folder between the host and the guest ? If you use -net user (which is the default) and you have Samba installed in the host, you can use -smb path to the shared folder and see that folder in: \\10.0.2.4\qemu Check QEMU command line options: -tftp prefixallow tftp access to files starting with prefix [-net user] -smb dirallow SMB access to files in 'dir' [-net user] -redir [tcp|udp]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-port redirect TCP or UDP connections from host to guest [-net user] Those are the ones I use. If you use tftp access, the tftp server is on 10.0.2.2. Cheers, Jorge - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

[kvm-devel] kvm for Ubuntu 7.04 (was Re: a (bad) kvm story from a plain user)
hi ppl, I am grateful for the help and tips I've been given here on the earlier thread. I just want to summarize the bits I've collected, please confirm :) On an up-to-date Ubuntu 7.04 machine: - install kvm+qemu packages - install the gcc-3.4 package (hopefully it will not overwrite my gcc 4.x ?) - download kvm-35 - configure it without the --patched flag (will it automatically find the gcc-3 ?) - insmod the just-build kvm-(amd|intel) module - make sure i run the qemu binaries supplied from the kvm35 package that should do the trick ? thank you all i am already anxious to see now whether installing RH9 will take less than 3 hours :) slohm - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
