You can also use the current sources from kvm's website (I am currently using kvm-16 w/ add-scsi patch). It's easy to setup unless you have gcc >3.x _and_ 64-bit userland.... Also, compiling patched qemu with gcc newer than 3.x means you can run only w/ kvm enabled.
First problem I hit with kvm was an emulation problem, so you do need to modify your plan9.ini to set *norealmode=1 The far jump in again16bit causes kvm to crash and burn (look for the "EA", etc. at the end of again16bit).
I never noticed that - I had troubles with march cd's 9pcf kernel, but using an old one from ca 2005 solved the problem of hangup after "running /bin/rc". On the other hand, I use AMD's SVM instead of intel's VTx, and they do differ in some places, as qemu needs to put most of real mode through emulation. [cut] Unfortunately I haven;t had time to do any benchmarking. The only one I could say I have performed is that after switching to SCSI I have been able to sit through the whole installation process without falling asleep...
thanks ron
