Hi all,
I use Debian host os with debian guest os. The problem is that I must to
reinstall kqemu every time I boot my host system.
When I try to load qemu it tells me that it can't open kqemu (first I load
kqemu with modprobe naturallyand it is ok), I chmod 777 /dev/kqemu and it
tells me that there isn't this file! Can someone help me?

Thanks.

Ale

If you are running udev and a new enough kernel, load kqemu with
modprobe kqemu major=0 and udev should create the device node for you.
If you are running with devfs, you will need to mknod every time you boot, or however Debian lets 
you do it.
