QEMU official site

• As today on Debian: v0.7.0
• On the official site: v0.7.1

To compile kqemu: (kernel module accelerator to provide userspace virtualisation)

• extract qemu sources
• extract kqemu sources in qemu/
• in qemu/: ./configure --disable-gfx-check
• in qemu/kqemu/: make
  (for it to work, you must have the tree used for the current kernel, and no make-kpkg clean!!)
• mkdir -p "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc"
• cp kqemu.ko "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc"
• /sbin/depmod -a
• echo "KERNEL=\"kqemu\", MODE=\"0666\"">/etc/udev/rules.d/kqemu.rules
• modprobe kqemu major=0
• modprobe tun
• chmod 666 /dev/net/tun

This would be better to create appropriate groups for kqemu and tun instead of chmod 666.

To boot from the cdrom:

• qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d
