qemu-kvm

[pwatk]

This script provides a number of options for selecting which CPU targets are compiled (less targets equals shorter compile time).

I've also created what I feel is a fairly comprehensive doinstall.sh to ensure the kvm modules (which are part of the Slackware kernel) and udev rules are loaded and everything is ready to use straight away as well as at boot time.

Note: You need to add your user account to the kvm group before you can use it and you need texi2html installed to build the html docs.

This package has been updated to include an rc.kvm script. If you used an older version of this package please remove any references to the kvm, kvm-intel or kvm-amd kernel modules from the bottom of your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file (if they exist) before installing a newer package. It wont hurt if you leave them there, it just means they'll always be loaded on boot even if you disable (chmod -x) /etc/rc.d/rc.kvm!

This package is now included in the repository

Thanks for providing this

[laprjns]

Yes, thank you. I was just looking for this on the repository.

I'll post a dependency list later but I thought I'd mention you need texi2html to compile the html docs.

Updated

[pwatk]

Updated script to remove NAME="%k" from udev rules to work around the following error:

Code: Select all

NAME="%k" is superfluous and breaks kernel supplied names, please remove it from /lib/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules:1

You could probably escape big lines so that they continue to the next one. It should help with lines getting split here.

[pwatk]

I'll tidy it up.

Akuna should be giving me some ftp space at http://people.salix.org/, when that happens I'll just link to the slkbuild there. Problem solved
