OK I now have 10.2GM i386 running in 10.3A4 X86_64 but it runs very slowly on
an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ with 2GB DDR667 memory.
Create disk image.
$ qemu-img create -f qcow vdisk.img 10G
Install Distro. Note I first copied the iso to the Desktop using K3B 'Only
create image'. The -cdrom /path/to/Desktop worked presumably because it's a
virtual cdrom????
$ qemu -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /path/to/distro.iso -boot d -m 384
Run Distro.
$ qemu vdisk.img -m 384
However when I tried a virtual install of 10.3A4 X86_64 in 10.3A4 X86_64 I got
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /path/to/distro.iso -boot d
-m 384
could not open '/dev/kqemu' QEMU - acceleration layer not activated
Kqemu is not available on the DVD and I could not find it in Factory??
On further reading of an article by M. Tim Jones at
<www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-kvm> he says in part:-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ qemu-img create -f qcow vm-disk.img 4G
With your virtual disk created, load the guest operating system into it. The
following example assumes that the guest operating system is on a CD-ROM. In
addition to populating the virtual disk with the CD-ROM ISO image, you must
boot the image when it's done.
$ kvm -no-acpi -m 384 -cdrom guestos.iso -hda vm-disk.img -boot d
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now no such command exists in 10.3A4 which leads me to wonder was the 10.3A4
kernel compiled without KVM support????
