Im using an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ processor These where the packages I installed to get me started (added the sudo part for possibly easy copy pasting): sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev sudo apt-get install libsdl-gfx1.2-dev sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 sudo apt-get install zlibc sudo apt-get install lib64z1-dev sudo apt-get install uuid-dev Which got me a compiled kvm-34 and an installed one. But starting it gave me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda images/ubuntu704-server.img -boot c -m 512 Password: kvm kernel version too old: KVM_GET_API_VERSION ioctl not supported Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support Then I checked if it would be easy/possible to keep using ubuntu and install a self-compiled kernel (processing power to spend, so why not). But that proved to be not such a good idea, since 'recompile kernel - nividia dont work - Ubuntu Forums' http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=524411 So while downloading the daily snapshot of gutsy (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/) I tried version kvm-17. If you hit 'sudo apt-get install kvm' you'll get kvm-16 : ~$ zcat /usr/share/doc/kvm/changelog.Debian.gz | head kvm (1:16-1ubuntu2) feisty; urgency=low * Revert to kvm-16 to match released kernel. * Add epoch. This page does not tell you what version will work with the ubuntu supported kernel (of course) http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Downloads Can anyone tell me: - what is the linux host OS flavour and version the developers use? - what is the latest kvm-version that 'just works' on a ubuntu 7.04 desktop release? >> last question - the ./configure script has the option reflecting whether the >> kernel is patched or not. if i download the cutting edge rc3 kernel, >> should i add the --patched flag or not ? >> I found out that using the --with-patched-kernel I did not get it compiled at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
