Tech tip: Enabling kqemu properly

For a while I thought I was using kqemu, but in fact was not. Here's how to fix that.

  1. sudo module-assistant a-i kqemu
  2. Edit /etc/modules and add the line:

    kqemu

  3. modprobe kqemu
  4. Make a new file called /etc/udev/rules.d/60-kqemu.rules. It should contain the line:

    KERNEL=="kqemu", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="mwolson"

    Change the group to something appropriate for your setup.

  5. Run udevtrigger to make the previous step take effect.
  6. Run qemu, passing it the --kernel-kqemu option.
