I understand it is a development list, but I would appreciate some help.
I will make it concise.
1) What is the best Distro to run Qemu on with the least hassles?
FYI, I now run it on FC7, but it is a lot of trouble. kqemu refuses to
work on FC7 on a v20z Sun dual cpu dual core rack server
XEN just completely doesnt load even though the Kernel is XEN, but at
least qemu works with the following Caveat;
"Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated"
1/ I absolutely love it on Solaris. Mainly because I am a Solaris bigot. Barring that it should run relatively uniformly on different Linuxi.
2) Does an activated QEMU acceleration layer (missing above) make a
huge difference?
Yep. Seems to be about 5x faster on my 1.6Ghz celeron laptop.
3) I have several operating systems successfully loaded in Qemu
sessions, but networking is just not working. I worked through loads of
FAQs from the net, but to no avail.
Try adding -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user
Use DHCP if you can.
4) Finally is there a preferred distro which is known to solve all the
problems mentioned above?
Surely you can't be serious. :) (Yes, I know, don't call you Shirley)
Thanks.
