Hi, Thanks for the response. My aim is to install kvm on a powerpc system. I will give a detailed description of the environment.
Host arch: x86 kernel: 2.6.32.25 (ubuntu 10.04 32 bit) I have emulated powerpc using "qemu-system-ppc" and installed debian on top of this. guest os: debian-507-powerpc (2.6.26-1-powerpc) contents of /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 cpu : 740/750 temperature : 62-64 C (uncalibrated) clock : 1000.000000MHz revision : 3.1 (pvr 0008 0301) bogomips : 33.02 timebase : 16600733 platform : PowerMac model : Power Macintosh machine : Power Macintosh motherboard : AAPL,PowerMac G3 MacRISC detected as : 49 (PowerMac G3 (Silk)) pmac flags : 00000000 pmac-generation : OldWorld I want to use kvm on this guest os. I have installed kvm-userspace application. Now, I require kvm kernel module. I have some questions. 1. As x86 systems are distributed with kvm kernel module(kvm.ko, kvm-intel.ko, kvm-amd.ko), is there any powerpc system with kvm kernel modules. 2. Is it possible to run kvm on powerpc-750, powerpc-970 or both 3. How should I try to build kvm kernel module for guest os. I have two options: to compile kernel with kvm inside guest os or to cross compile kernel for powerpc on host os.

Inside that kvm_source folder when I do "make ARCH=powerpc menuconfig", inside virtualization menu, option "kvm" is not present.
