Hi Soren,

I got it.  Thanks


Xterm-1
# kvm -hdb ubuntu6.06_080805.img -vnc :0
starting


Xterm-2
$ vncviewer 192.168.0.110:0

Viewer starts.  Also Ubuntu6.06 start to boot.  Finally I can login as
user as well as root.


In these couple days I made heavy googling and found many documents. 
Because I can't get the guest to ping website (it can update/upload
files on repo).  However the more I read more confuse I'm.


If creating the disk.img running;

$ sudo kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom ........

I can start the guest with;
$ kvm disk.img ip-address.....
(without -hda)


If creating the disk.img running;

$ sudo kvm -hdb disk.img -cdrom ......

I must run;
$ kvm -hdb disk.img ip-address.....
(must add -hdb)

I'm NOT very clear, WHY?


I'm following;
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM#Creating%20a%20network%20bridge%20on%20the%20host

trying to sort out the problem on networking


On running
$ sudo kvm-bridge -m 512 -hdb disk.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -boot d -smp 2
nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'

It always appends output to `nohup.out'

I'm still struggling.


B.R.
