grr, the box doesn't have a lciense so i can't remote console into it until i buy one irons: yup, I'm here! ;-) who else is here? KVM come with a linux module to support full virtualization. The linux module is just three files: kvm.ko, kvm_intel.ko, kvm_amd.ko. You can install them just like you install drivers for your video card. The good news is, you might do not need it install it. The 2.6.20 version has already included those linux modules. Depends on your distribution configuration, it might not be installed, or as a module or built-in. Here is a table listing the relation wow someone needs to help them with their engrish! greg_dolley: there's like 19 ppl total idling up_the_irons, what vrsion of kvm you run jeev: 84 up_the_irons, what's the difference between qemu-kvm and kvm jeev: google it for example, there is a 0.11.somethingrc i'm seeing slackbuilds that use qemu-kvm and others that dont weird dunno much about slackware up_the_irons: Just a gentle reminder: can you do that thing to ACPI on my slice that fixes the sleep() problems? (During the next downtime.) anyone got a sec? got my kvm working i wanna set a couple fbsd vps up for myself and test them for a month before i ship it todo? well, i want to set up a nnew pop somewhere for mail and dns and i want to split it all up ah screen coes out pretty nasty i need to set up vnc and see how it works ya oh cool le tme try bsd ;) i have to read up on how to split what format should i create the image ? no idea, dd? eh i meant with qemu-img, anyway i'll just try it, im booting into the cd with qcow2 i never used kvm/qemu wow this is so easy i gotta figure out the networking hrmf up_the_irons, do you use virtio or e1000 I believe he uses virtio (asked him the other day.) whats the diff? I use e1000 for most of my virtulization in FreeBSD virtio is paravirtualized, e1000 is fully virtualized. ah virtio actually work in BSD? whatdo you suggest i use mhoran There's also a paravirt disk driver, not sure of the status of that. how do i start it where it reaches my current LAN / jeev: If virtio works, I'd use it. ballen: Not sure. The spec is open, of course, so it could be easily implemented. qemu-system-x86_64 disk0.qcow2 -vga std -net nic,model=virtio -monitor stdio -vnc :2 -smp 2 -m 1024 Warning: vlan 0 is not connected to host network same with model=e1000 Hrm. virtio didn't give me nic in freebsd Yeah, probably requires a special driver (as does the Linux version.) well my fbsd vps with arp = em0: port 0xc040-0xc07f mem 0xf2020000-0xf203ffff irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0 Yeah, that's e1000 not virtio. qemu-system-x86_64 disk0.qcow2 -vga std -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -monitor stdio -vnc :2 -smp 2 -m 1024 that's working i think Cool. You may also want to disable APIC, we've seen some timer issues with that. ok still cant even reach the gateway i dont even have tunctl on slackware mike-burns: yeah, i already made the APIC change, will take effect during reboot up_the_irons, got a suggestion for me ? i just need it to get online now ;) jeev: e1000 for FreeBSD mhoran: i use virtio for Linux VMs, e1000 for *BSD VMs how can i get it on the public network though http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking = public bridge / with bridges ? jeev: suggestion: RTM :) i am reading the manual anyone know how to output to standard error from a shell script (bash) ? I have: echo "Warning: domain $DOMAIN has no PORT defined, skipping..." | cat 1>&2 and it works but was wondering if there was a more straight forward way Doesn't this work: echo "foo" >&2 oh yeah huh it does mike-burns: thanks Sure thing. damn disabled apic and it wont mount root now ballen: the console server (console.cust.arpnetworks.com) will now show you the SSH tunnel command with host and port already filled in; as you had suggested. types "console.cus" hmmmm :) Nat_UB: email me your SSH pub key and I'll make an account for you (feature is still in demo / testing) cool...thanks up_the_irons: coolio going swimming, bbl k up_the_irons: downtime is tonight? ping ballen: yup, 1am yaa \me shakes head... awww any who
