Yes, VirtualBox provides fairly decent performance for non-VT CPUs, almost the equivalent to kqemu. If your guest is a Windows XP machine, ensure you deactivate the ACPI in the VirtualBox launch parameters, and then you'll have to reactivate your Windows XP. Prior to doing that, you have to

Yep, I too have a new ASUS U50V laptop with Intel Dual Core but no VT and now no kqemu. I have either compile from source or use non-open source alternatives. It would be better if qemu could support ordinary CPUs like before. -- kqemu mode not compiled for karmic

If kqemu support is disabled in karmic, why are the kqemu-source and kqemu-common packages available in the karmic repositories ? I agree with Traumflug's comments - there are MANY multicore processors shipping today that do not support KVM, plus of course, all of the lower end processors. The

Can we have two packages. One that works with CPUs that support kvm, and one that works with CPUs that do not support kvm, e.g. with kqemu instead. I think it is sensible to assume that all new CPUs will support kvm, so that handles the physical memory 3.5GB issue. But, for older CPUs, that do

Thanks for the report. We've gotten a few requests about this over the last few weeks. I need to respond to all of those here. Upstream QEMU has configured kqemu off by default for 0.11, and has completely removed the code from the tree for 0.12. This is upstream's acknowledgement that kqemu
