I've held off sending this message to the list (as it is my first one)
until I saw someone else have this problem...
I run Fedora Core 2 at work and have been using QEMU for about a month
now. When I upgraded to 2.6.8, suddenly none of my VMs would start. Is
anyone else haveing this problem? If not, what did you change to get
them running? Until it's working, I'm booting into 2.6.7-1.494.
I absolutely love QEMU. I was saving up to get VMWare, but when I got
QEMU running, I scratched it off my list of software to buy. It does
what I need. Right now, I'm heavily into web development
(PHP,MySQL,_javascript_,XHTML) here at work and need to test webpages in
IE. As I hate running Windows, it's great to run it in an emulator for
testing. When I finish the 4 current projects, I'll be getting into
embedded programming again and will probably need an emulated serial
port that connects to a real serial port. Is that in the works or
already working?
(after following the 'development schedule' thread...) I don't find
QEMU the least bit difficult to figure out (except networking, but that
will change in time). The command line options are just fine. When I
get the command line for a given VM the way I want it, I just recall the
command line and add "echo " ... " >> StartVM" to the beginning and end
and make my own launcher. So far, I have virtual machines for 98, 2000,
XP and a playground for Damn Small Linux hacking. A 'todo' list for
development and features would be nice, but isn't required IMO. If I
get some time, I'd like to look at the code and see what I can
contribute. I've never helped with an open source project before...
One question I have: is there something in the works similar to
VMWare's virtual network? Or, does it already exist and just require
configuration on the host? I'd love to setup virtual machines running
Win2k3 and play with site-to-site VPN's. That's what we run at both our
branch offices and I'd rather not test on the real servers.
