After I had kqemu working with acceleration, it quit working. Finding exactly how to get kqemu going with FC6 is tricky, since there are so many versions of Linux, and each is a little different, and there are at least two different way to create the /dev/kqemu character device. I worked on it until about 1:00 AM last night; got up this morning and decided to give it another go, and just got it going again round 10:00 AM this morning. I now have it set to initiate on boot and creates the /dev/kqemu character device using udev when "emu -hda c.img -m 384 -kernel-kqemu" is sent from a desktop launcher. I learned a few things along the way, like qemu and kqemu will not compile from source with gcc 4.1 that comes with FC6, and I didn't want to go back to a gcc 3.4 version of the compiler. The gemu and kgemu accelerator that load via the yum extender are earlier versions and install in different directories that the later versions of gemu.x.x.x.gz and kgemu.x.x.x.rpm accelerator, so I had to uninstall via the yum extender, and then install via a gemu.x.y.z.gz which hold binaries, (eg gemu will not compile on FC6), and I used rpm to install the kgemu.x.x.x.rpm files. I'm still learning about geum, but it really appears to be a fine piece of work; safe and stable. I plan on taking a close look at Red Hat's xen, which also works with virtual machines, as soon as they have it working with windows.
