Hi- At this point, we have no intention on touching the kqemu package (which is separate from qemu). And the qemu-kvm version we're using in Karmic is 0.11, which still supports kqemu. However, upstream has completely dropped kqemu support in 0.12, so I wouldn't plan on having kqemu support beyond Karmic. See the qemu mailing lists for *lengthy* discussion on this topic, which I'd rather not duplicate here. :-Dustin -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
