Hi Paul, I have similar experience with you. And I have some findings to share, hope that could help.
I tried this command: $sudo qemu-kvm -m 512 -boot c -hda meego-1.0-default-XX-sda.raw -std-vga provided by "http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation"; to start a raw image. Findings to share: 1. "-std-vga" option is wrong. it should be "-vga std". 2. My CPU only supports "vme", not "vmx". (see from /proc/cpuinfo) So I cannot add kvm-intel module. But I still added the kvm module successfully, and try the qemu-kvm command. Of course I got the same warnings: > open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory > Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support But I can still start the image successfully, the only problem is that it is really slow. 3. I also find a helpful site which tells you how to use KQEMU instead of KVM: http://qemu-buch.de/de/index.php/QEMU-KVM-Buch/_Installation Maybe helpful.
