[Qemu-devel] qemu fast mode

[Marc Collin]

hi

i use suse 9.1 kernel 2.6.8-24.3


to use qemu fast mode we need to do:
The kernel must be mapped at 0x90000000 (the default is 0xc0000000). You must 
modify only two lines in the kernel source: In `include/asm/page.h', replace 
#define __PAGE_OFFSET           (0xc0000000)

 by 
#define __PAGE_OFFSET           (0x90000000)

 And in `arch/i386/vmlinux.lds', replace 
  . = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000;

 by 
  . = 0x90000000 + 0x100000;

i changed the value, make bzImage, make modules...

but each time i use the kernel with this hack in grub, the system reboot...

are there any problem with this kernel and qemu fast?

thanks

Hi Marc, it seems to me that you are trying to boot the *host* system with
the modified kernel. As I understand the docs, the host kernel shouldn't
need any modifications, the modified kernel should only be running in the
guest system inside qemu-fast's system emulation.

hi

i would like to use qemu in fast mode

to do it, we need a patched kernel

we can read that here: 
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC23

somebody have a kernel 2.6.5.-7.111.... with this modification?

somebody can do it for me or explain me step by step how to do it?

thanks

if you have a patch for a 2.6.5.-7.111??? kernel
(i.e. the differences between a vanilla and this one)
it should be fairly trivial to do ...

here are some patches for various kernel versions
(vanilla kernels), maybe one applies to your kernel

well, if you provide 'a patch' to get from 2.6.5
(vanilla) to your 2.6.5.-7.111... then I can probably
provide a patch to make qemu-fast work ...

HTH,
Herbert
