Qemu on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 | Labels: 64-bit, Ubuntu | |On 64-bit, when trying to use Qemu with KQemu (Qemu accelerator - you will want this), instead of using:
qemu -boot d -hda img.img -cdrom fedora.iso -kernel-kqemu
... do this and you should be able to get Full Acceleration with KQemu.
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -hda img.img -cdrom fedora.iso -kernel-kqemu
I have highlighted the difference in bold.
Because of this, qemu-launcher is utterly useless; as when you click on the Launch button, it will actually use qemu instead of qemu-system-x86_64; which will not work with the option -kernel-kqemu. If you are on 32-bit, then any part of this post shouldn't be a problem for you.
For more info on getting Qemu and KQemu to work with your Ubuntu, please refer to here. This was how I got Windows XP Pro up and running on top of Ubuntu :)
