KVM features, including SMP, are developed in qemu-kvm first and ported to qemu later when they're mature enough. So no doubt qemu does not have smp support, -- quite some changes (for 0.12) are required for qemu to support SMP, in this area qemu-kvm and qemu are significantly different. > I think that you are trying to be "too smart" with this > package.

That's one of the examples where it does not work out of the box, and there are many other examples. > consider releasing a new package based on qemu-0.14.0 > without all of the "value-added" stuff. Which value-added stuff? I'm afraid you don't understand what you're talking about. Thanks! /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
