With the default "unaccelerated" qemu, installation takes rather long and the system is rather unresponsive once up. If you're using qemu, I recommend trying this, it makes a huge speed difference. To install the kqemu accelerator kernel module (right now) you must: 1. Download the current source via CVS export CVS_RSH="ssh" cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qemu co qemu 2. Download the kqemu source/binary thing from this page. http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html 3. untar it within the qemu dir cd qemu/ tar -xvzf ../kqemu-0.XXXXX.tar.gz 4. configure and compile[1] qemu ./configure make 5. Install (as root) make install 6. Load the kqemu module modprobe kqemu 7. Run qemu as usual but from /usr/local/bin Notes: [1] You must have the required libraries and headers which (on sarge) includes (libartsc0, libartsc0-dev, libgpmg1, libgpmg1-dev, the X libraries). [2] There is currently a bug in qemu whereby you must not give it more RAM than /dev/shm or it will crash with a "bus error". If you run this command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gavin> df -h /dev/shm Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 174M 0 174M 0% /dev/shm and use no more RAM than the size shown you should be fine.
