Hmmm. Some version info would have been handy (e.g. using kvm-60, using Linux kernel 2.8.12). Kvm-60 emulates the 8139 LAN card by default, not the NE2000 of earlier versions. Check which card you have by switching to the monitor inside QEMU (Ctrl-Alt-2). Do this: (qemu) info pci An NE2000 (aka RT8029) will show up as PCI device 10ec:8029. The 8139 will show up as 10ec:8139. (Other values are possible, depending on what cards KVM is asked to provide. Try http://www.pcidatabase.com/ for an extensive cross-reference list of PCI vendor/device IDs.) You can try forcing KVM to use the RT8029 card on the command line with the command line option: -net nic,model=ne2k_pci Or you can try forcing Linux to load the needed driver for the 8139 card by doing: # modprobe 8139too and seeing if this lights up the eth0 interface. For reasons I've never bothered to investigate, I've found that 8139too doesn't always get auto-detected-and-loaded, when other cards do. I presume there is a good reason for this (perhaps that there are different driver flavours which conflict but which cannot tell the different sorts of 8139 card apart.) If you don't have a kernel driver for 8139too then you will need to build one. As for mounting a RAW image loopback, don't forget that you need to mount the partition _inside_ the image (e.g. /dev/hda1) not the entire image (which corresponds to /dev/hda under Linux). Assuming that you created a single partition, or at least that your root partition is the first one (/dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1), and assuming a default position for that first partition, it should start 63 sectors along the physical disk (for historical reasons we don't have time for here :-). At 512 bytes per sector, that's an offset of 32256 bytes. So try this: # mount -o loop,offset=32256 myrawimage.raw /mnt/mymountpoint That's the beauty of raw images :-) All my VMWare-hugging colleages go, "hey, I didn't see you start the VM, how did you do that?"
