Hi Gleb:

Yes, k12_1009 is the kernel image that isolinux loads.

qemu's version is 0.12.5. modinfo kvm doesn't reveal any version string
though, however the kernel is 2.6.35 from Arch.

Question: from what I've read so far kvm versions are of 'kvm-xx' where
xx is a number, on sourceforge there is kvm-kmod-{kernel-version}, am I
correct in assuming and saying then that my kvm version is 2.6.35?

Thanks...
