Re: kqemu issue

[David Bendit]

Just a shot in the dark here, but did you try running qemu under sudo? Could be that kqemu requires root privileges to run. You should also check dmesg for any erroneous messages related to kqemu. I haven't worked with it in over a year, so these are just guesses, but they're worth a shot.

See the 'c' attribute on the /dev/kqemu?  According to the chattr man
page, that means it is a kernel compressed file and the Bugs and
Limitations section of that same man page says it is not honored by
the ext2 and ext3 filesystems (which this is on).  Any ideas?  I
should probably re-ask this on the list.
