It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides -the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, -kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although -work is underway to get the required changes upstream. - -Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux -or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: -a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. - -If you'd like to build this for a kernel other than the one you're currently -running, you can do something like this: - KERNELVERSION=2.6.27.15 ./kvm.SlackBuild - -This script requires a 'kvm' group to exist before running. The recommended -GID is 221. You can create it like this: - groupadd -g 221 kvm - -After installation, add user to kvm group and re-login. Don't forget to load -kernel module kvm-intel (or kvm-amd if you use AMD processors). |
