Re: qemu

kqemu needs to be compiled from inside qemu ....

Again its not working (building) under gcc4 so I'm going to try rolling back gcc to give it a shot ...

Then I can load up windows under qemu image (not!!! lol)

Re: qemu

compiled inside qemu? why? i downgraded to gcc 3.4, aint that enough?

[edit]
i forgot kqemu module was already before testing - after i "modprobe -r kqemu" and tried loading again the one from kqemu26 - got same error - "Invalid module format" :S

[edit2]
ok, kqemu WILL load if i use "modprobe -f" (force), and i just dont care now - as long as it works! smile

Re: qemu

I am going to fix the qemu situation once and for all!  It will be last contribution for a while!

OK - let me clarify the situation pkg wise:

qemu - in [community]: built without support of the kernel module kqemu
kqemu - in UNSUPPORTED: builds both qemu and kqemu but according to stonecrest this kernel module won't work
kqemu26 - removed from UNSUPPORTED: was supposed to install kernel module for qemu pkg but qemu pkg does have support for it.

Solution:
kqemu cannot be distibuted as a binary.  I will rebuild qemu in [community] using the kqemu PKGBUILD (should I use the patches?) but will not install the kernel module (last 4 lines).  This will makedepends=('gcc<=3.4.3')

I will then remove kqemu from UNSUPPORTED and create a new pkg called kqemu that will be == with the old kqemu26 PKGBUILD.

kqemu will depend=('qemu') and will build against the running kernel - this will not be distributed as a binary.

qemu will be moved from community/system to community/emulators

Re: qemu

I had the same problem as ziggy, had to force the module load - does that mean I can't do what ziggy does iwth rc.local and MODULES to load module and create the device?
