Version mismatch between kqemu module and qemu [solved]

Hi,

As the subject says it all, I'm trying to get qemu & kqemu working together but when I launch qemu I've got this nasty message in the console followed by a : disabling kqemu use.

I'm using arch 0.7.2,
I've installed qemu using "pacman -S qemu" and "pacman -Qi qemu" gives me "qemu 0.8.1-2"

First I tried to get kqemu sources from the official site and compiled it myself. Same message as in the subject. (using kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz)
Then I told myself something was wrong with Arch and the official sources so I took the one from the AUR, did "makepkg", did the mknod & chmod stuff for /dev/ as someone had written in the AUR comments, but it still doesn't work.
After trying all sorts of things (uninstalling / resinstalling etc) I got to the point that doing "makepkg" runs fine but doesn't generate the kqemu.ko in /lib/module/2.6.17-ARCH/misc ....

I'm kinda confused about how to get things work and the use of AUR packages (although I read the wiki...).
Please someone, any advice here ?

Thanks !

Okay, fixed.

I had missed one point : pacman -A with the generated package...  :oops:
