Name : qemu Product : Fedora 11 Version : 0.10.5 Release : 2.fc11 URL : http://www.qemu.org/ Summary : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator Description : QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation. QEMU has two operating modes: * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code. * User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is safe and easy to use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This package updates qemu to the latest stable release from upstream qemu-kvm, version 0.10.5. The update fixes the bugs listed below, the most significant of which is probably the bug which causes F11 anaconda cdrom installs to hang/crash towards the end of the install. Another notable change in this version of qemu-kvm is the introduction of "CPUID trimming". This means that KVM will no longer expose CPU features to the guest when the host does not support these features. For example, this should fix problems with booting guests on host machines which lack NX support. The upstream changelog also lists the following changes: - merge qemu-0.10.5 - kvm: trim unsupported cpu features from cpuid - kvm: provide a better error message for -smp > 1 - Remove initrd printfs - Initial variables found by valgrind - Fix -initrd with > 4GB guests - Fix busy loop on live migration for certain platforms - Remove GCC 3.x requirements from docs - ETRAX: fixes for kernel command line, ethernet address, bmi - CRIS: Fix bmi - Fix bounce buffer errors - Fix regression in -kernel - fix large guest migration (Glauber Costa) - fix -no-shutdown (Daniel Gollub) - fix testsuite build (Jochen Roth) - fix hard disk count reported by BIOS for extboot (Gleb Natapov) - fix large page alignment (Marcelo Tosatti) - fix tap not resetting correctly - propagate errors on failed migration (Glauber Costa) - fix unregistering large memory slots - drop packet from tap device if all NICs are down (Mark McLoughlin) - increment virtio-net savevm version (Anthony Liguori) - fix build to separate object directoy (Anthony Liguori) - fix virtio-net savevm dependency on build options (Alex Williamson) - refuse migration if host does not support vnet header and guest needs it (Alex Williamson) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jun 3 2009 Mark McLoughlin <[email protected]> - 2:0.10.5-2 - Prevent locked cdrom eject - fixes hang at end of anaconda installs (#501412) - Fix crash with '-net socket,listen=...'
