I have managed to download the latest cvs and tried it out on Fedora Core 3 (kernel 2.6.10). It seems that for some reason the kqemu module is unable to be assigned major device number 254. Below are the errors: [root@localhost ~]# modprobe kqemu FATAL: Error inserting kqemu (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3/misc/kqemu.ko): Device or resource busy [root@localhost ~]# tail /var/log/messages Feb 11 14:14:07 localhost kernel: QEMU Accelerator Module version 1.0.0, Copyright (c) 2005 Fabrice Bellard Feb 11 14:14:07 localhost kernel: This is a proprietary product.
