It still doesn't like starting X, for example. Note: on i386 the qemu binary is now named qemu-system-x86_64. This is to allow migration from 32-bit hosts to 64-bit hosts, and to allow 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit host to launch a 64-bit guest. Changes from kvm-28: - live migration from 32-bit hosts to 64-bit hosts (Uri Lublin) - monotonic timestamp counter on Intel - more real mode support (Nitin A Kamble) - infrastructure for in-kernel PIC and APIC (Gregory Haskins, Eddie Dong) - fix read-modify-write to mmio (fixes F7 installer) (Luca Tettamanti) - fix rebooting a long-running guest - reliably detect if svm was disabled by bios (Joerg Roedel) - suspend/resumes fixes (will not work with older kernels) - fix nx confusion with large pages and real mode - remove dependency on libuuid - fix registers access in monitor/gdbstub (Anthony Liguori) - minor fixes and cleanups (various) Notes: If you use the modules from kvm-29, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards. If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
