but didn't include my changes to the IDE emulation to allow for OpenSolaris
guests to be installed (patch 1 and 4) as shown in :

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20071128180630.GA351%40tapir&forum_name=kvm-devel

will rebase them (they conflict with the qemu's gcc4 compilation fixes) and
resend them.

just realized I made a typo in my original report for backward compatibility
but you got it right :)

2.6.17 will only work if compiled with CONFIG_SMP=y but shouldn't affect any
distribution that provides kvm packages AFAIK (Gentoo will be affected, but
the packages provided there are not official)
