Slackware provides these modules -in the 'a/kernel-modules*' packages. In most cases, the provided -versions are sufficient to run qemu with kvm support. This kvm-kmod -package is only needed if you want to change the kvm modules to a -different version. - -kvm-kmod updates the modules without overwriting the ones provided -by Slackware. If you uninstall kvm-kmod, you will need to run -'depmod -a' to regenerate the modules.dep and map files to regain -access to the Slackware provided versions. |
