If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules bundled with 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. For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
