Hi all,
Sombedody knows where I can find rpm kvm-70 packages for sles 10 sp2??
If not, can I compile kvm-70 without problems under sles 10 sp2??
I've been compiling it for OpenSuSE 10.3 (and 11.0 recently) with only
minor effort since kvm-65 or earlier. My method should work as-is for
SLE 10 versions. This message may be a bit long and OT for the list but
I'll take the heat and maybe someone can help me understand why the
second part of the patch is needed for me. If you have any questions
that require much discussion maybe we can take it off-list.
Procedure (kvm-70 and later):
Make sure you have the kernel source and C/C++ development pattern
installed.
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make cloneconfig
# make modules-prepare
Download the kvm source tarball
Explode it somewhere
# cd kvm-<version>
# ./configure
Patch kernel/Makefile as follows, the first change can be avoided easily
but it's easier to just patch the Makefile as shown. The second change
really seems necessary on my SuSE platforms. Be careful to consider if
my or your mail client word wraps the patch (I pasted it as plain text).
The patch just replaces the relative path to the kernel source with a
literal path that works on OpenSuSE 10.3/11.0 and adds the kernel
source's linux/include as a higher priority include path than the kvm
include-compat.

OpenSuSE 10.3 and 11.0 include kvm modules and qemu. I delete all the
kvm stuff under /lib/modules/<current kernel> before the install.
To get the kvm drivers to load at boot time add the kvm.ko and
kvm-<platform>.ko module to the INITRD_MODULES section of
/etc/sysconfig/kernel and run mkinitrd. modprobe or insmod the drivers
to start right away or reboot the host to load them from the ramdisk.
When you update the kernel you may as well repeat the process from the top.
The qemu executable is qemu-system-x86_64 and has been working really
well for me.
