Thanks to all who replied. sys-firmware/seabios needed the "binary" |
2 |
flag and sys-firmware/ipxe needed the "qemu" and "vmware" flags. It's |
3 |
starting now, and most of my problems are solved. |

I still have permission problems as a regular user with qemu-kvm, but |
6 |
qemu-system-i386 works. Root can start qemu-kvm. "modprobe kvm-intel" |
7 |
from a root xterm, followed by "qemu-kvm blahblahblah" from a regular |
8 |
user (i.e. "waltdnes") fails... |
9 |
|
10 |
Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied |
11 |
failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied |
12 |
|
13 |
Before anybody asks... |
14 |
|
15 |
# grep kvm /etc/group |
16 |
kvm:x:78:waltdnes,user2 |

One more question... I rebuilt qemu with sdl enabled, and now have the |
20 |
Gentoo install ISO booting up in a window via sdl with... |
21 |
|
22 |
qemu-system-i386 -cpu qemu32 -m 3072 -hda sda.raw -cdrom installx86.iso -boot d |
23 |
|
24 |
But the screen refreshes are somewhat slow. I'd prefer to do it with |
25 |
vnc. What is the way to boot up and connect with vnc now? Starting |
26 |
with... |
27 |
|
28 |
qemu-system-i386 -vnc :0 -cpu qemu32 -m 3072 -hda sda.raw -cdrom installx86.iso -boot d |
29 |
|
30 |
...gives no output at all. "ps -ef" shows the qemu process is present. |
31 |
I've installed tightvnc, but documentation is almost non-existant. |
32 |
Google turns up tons of download sites and instructions for Windows, |
33 |
complete with screen captures of cutsie-wootsie dialogue windows. I need |
34 |
just 2 things please... |
35 |
|
36 |
1) What vnc parameters to enter into the qemu commandline? |
37 |
|
38 |
2) What "vncviewer" or "vncconnect" parameters do I use to get to the |
39 |
qemu session? |
40 |
|
41 |
I just had a scary thought... the vnc "help" mentions connecting to |
42 |
the the client display. But the install cd boots up to a text console. |
43 |
Please don't tell me that tightvnc can't connect to a plain text |
44 |
console. |
