I can certainly understand why you've made KQEMU closed for the moment, and I too would probably be willing to contribute to a bounty on opening it. In the meantime, what are the chances of getting KQEMU running on an AMD64 kernel? I'm happy to run 32-bit binaries on my 64-bit system, but I don't relish the thought of having to use a 32-bit kernel to run accelerated QEMU. Thanks Leigh
