As pointed out repeatedly, this is _not_ a bug in QEMU

Stop reopening the bug!

@Jes Sorensen

This is a bug in the script configure of qemu. So this is a bug in QEMU.

Recent kvm-kmod's install headers, so the text is actually correct now.

I'd say this bug can be closed now.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 494500] Re: QEMU 0.12.0 does not support KVM with Kernel < 2.6.29, bug in ./configure and kvm-all.c

[rowa]

Does the _lastest_ kvm-kmod's install the right headers for the used
kernel, for example kernel 2.6.28-11?

As I wrote in this bug I had problems with a  kernel 2.6.28-11 and the
_latest_ version of kvm-kmod. It works only with the right (not the
latest) version of kvm-kmod.

I'll check it in some days.

Thanks

It installs the headers required to build kvm support into the qemu that
allows full-featured kernel or kvm-kmod usage up to the version kvm-kmod
carries.

Once you properly installed the kernel headers that kvm-kmod delivers,
qemu should detect their presence during configure and succeed with this
step. Of course, you also have to install the kvm-kmod modules which
will disable those that come with 2.6.28 to actually run qemu in kvm
mode later on.

Hi Jan,

Actually I would like to apologize, I hadn't realized the situation
around mr Warnke's bug. Had I looked at this and the other bugs he
constantly reopens when it's clear they are not real bugs, I wouldn't
have posted to it in the first place.

I suggest we leave them and don't add anymore to these bugs to avoid
unescessary noise on the list.

Cheers,
Jes
