Hi, Thanks for the speedy reply. I looked in all of the places you mentioned, but no file. Are the major/minor numbers static. If so, where can I find them? Thanks, -G - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft

[kvm-devel] kvm-intel.ko unable to create /dev/kvm

Hello All, I'm having some trouble with kvm-60. I'm trying to run it from a flash (ram disk). When I load kvm-intel.ko, it doesn't create the device file /dev/kvm. Can anyone give me a clue to why this might be so. Is the ram disk the problem? Thanks, -G

Re: [kvm-devel] QEMU vs KVM

Hi, Thanks! Sorry. Yes. I meant kqemu. Okay.. so would it be correct to say that kqemu formed the initial base of what is now kvm/kvm_intel/kvm_amd and that the mods to qemu are necessary for interfacing to the kernel drivers and possibly some paravirtualized drivers for enhanced I/O

Hi Dor, I appreciate your comments. The GUI interface would be an attempt to give KVM the same kind of features that some of the commercial virtualization products provide. A single GUI interface to manage multiple virtual host systems. The goal would be to create a tightly integrated solution

Hi Anthony, What I'm suggesting is a library for KVM that sits between the command line interface and the functions for creating, destroying, starting, stopping, migrating, etc. When I looked at the code it appeared that KVM was actually a modified QEMU. I didn't realize at the time that there

2007-09-03 Thread gerryw
Hi Folks, I've been spending some time playing around with KVM and I am starting to become interested in making a contribution to the project. I'm considering the idea of writing a library interface to libqemu in a KVM context. I am aware of libvirt, but that isn't what I'm thinking here. This

[kvm-devel] Stable distro

Hello Folks, I've been trying to get kvm going, but I can't seem to find a stable distro to test with. I've tried Fedora (which I've never liked anyway) and CentOS, but it crashes when installing w2k3. May I ask what distro y'all are using for dev / test? Thanks, -G
