installing kvm on debian 4.0 r0

[Koen de Jonge <koen-OoqVcbiag8BWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi All,

Below is how I installed kvm-35 on my debian etch installation, it may 
be included in the wiki :)

I installed the amd64 version of debian 4.0 r0 on my amd4800+
I did all 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' steps to get the system 
updated with all latest patches.
And off course I did 'apt-get install linux-image-2.6-amd64 to get the 
2.6.18-5-amd64 kernel.

I then used these to make the system workable:
apt-get install openssh-server
apt-get install sudo

Then I used these as prerequisite packages for kvm:
apt-get install gcc-3.4
apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
apt-get install zlibc
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
apt-get install uuid-dev
apt-get install linux-kernel-headers
apt-get install libasound2-dev

I then downloaded kvm-35 and did:
tar zxf kvm-35.tar.gz
cd kvm-35
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kvm
make
make install
modprobe kvm-amd

I then wanted to test the i386 debian netinstall iso doing this:
/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow test.img 2G
/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda test.img -cdrom 
debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso -boot d -m 265

It was very, very fast, even better than using ubuntu 7.04 but that 
wasn't a fully 64 bit host os, and this debian is.

Are you developers interested in warnings like these?
/root/kvm-35/qemu/slirp/tcp_subr.c: In function `tcp_newtcpcb':
/root/kvm-35/qemu/slirp/tcp_subr.c:210: warning: cast from pointer to
