=) KVM: http://kvm.qumranet.com

 

1) goto http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Code and use git to get the kernel and userspace code.

2) download the alsa library from http://www.alsa-project.org

3) Installed libuuid using synaptic

4) Installed libsdl1.2-dev using synaptic

5) Configure and compile the kernel

  *) enable Sound/Sound card support

  *) enable Sound/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

  *) enable Device Drivers/Virtualization/Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support

  *) enable Device Drivers/Virtualization/KVM for Intel processors support (or AMD)

  *) enable Device Drivers/Network device support/Universal TUN/TAP device driver support

  *) enable Networking/Networking options/802.1d Ethernet Birding

6) for the userspace

  *) .configure --prefix=/usr --with-patched-kernel --kerneldir=/home/wink/linux/kvm-l

  *) make

  *) sudo make install

7) To install qemu documentation

  *) Install texi2html (via synaptic)

  *) Added BUILD_DOCS='YES' to qemu/Makefile

  *) make

  *) make install-doc

8) I'm using bridging to support networking for guests

  *) http://kidsquid.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/bridge

    -) Create /etc/qemu-ifup

       #!/bin/sh
       sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
       sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1

    -) Create the bridge:

       brctl addbr br0
       /etc/qemu-ifup eth0

       chmod 666 /dev/net/tun
    -) Give the bridge an address

      dhclient3 br0

8) Create a disk image:

  *) qemu-img create -f qcow vdisk.img 10G

9) Download a ISO image, such as gentoo (http://torrents.gentoo.org/)

10) Start kvm booding from "d" the cdrom creating a nic if desired.

  *) qemu-system-x86_64 . -hda vdisk.img \

      -cdrom gentoo-x86-minimal-2007.0-r1.iso \

     -boot d -m 384 \

     -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0
