[kvm-devel] latest version of KVM?

2006-11-08 Thread Jun Koi
hi, KVM looks very cool, and i want to try it out. however, it seems the download code on the homepage is not the latest version? will you upload it soon? it is a good idea to put the code in CVS or SVN. that makes it much accessible for developers and contributors. cheers, J -

[kvm-devel] KVM & Xen coexist?

2006-11-08 Thread Jun Koi
hi, i guess this question should be in your FAQ: does KVM work with Xen? in the other word, is it possible to run KVM on Xen machine? (i.e loading KVM on Dom0 or DomU. obviously it does not work on DomU, but i am not sure about Dom0 case). cheers, J --

[kvm-devel] opaque field?

hi, in the structure kvm_context in libkvm: struct kvm_context { int fd; struct kvm_callbacks *callbacks; void *opaque; void *physical_memory; }; i would propose to change the field name to "private" or "data", rather than "opaque", which is a little bit weird to me. Jun --

[kvm-devel] [PATCH] Compile fixes for 32-bit targets (trivial), questions

2006-11-08 Thread Simon Kagstrom
Hello! I wanted to try out KVM and followed the HOWTO. It worked fine, except for two things: * libuuid-dev is needed for qemu, which would be good if added to the prerequisites * The build of kvm.ko failed since load_TR_desc() was not defined (I've been building for a 32-bit target)
