My instructions were written against the Git master branches of all the projects involved, as of a few | |
months ago. They're currently a bit out of date, as I've been caught up with some other work and didn't | |
get a chance to maintain them. For starters, compiling a patched KVM source against the latest currently shipping F18 kernel (3.9.*) doesn't work as well as it used to against the shipping F18 kernel from a few months ago (3.6.*). I meant to dig through the kvm-kmod scripts and try to fix that, and send Jan Kiszka (the owner of kvm-kmod) a patch, but it's sadly still on my to-do list. | |
Building the rest of it (qemu and seabios) should be a bit simpler, but since I had no patched kernel | |
module to test it with, I slacked off, and I wouldn't be surprised if the patches no longer apply to the | |
current Git master branch of qemu and seabios, respectively. | |
I don't have (never did have) a nicely packaged and releasable "image" -- just patches that happened | |
to work against the respective current development branches. | |
The idea was to (slowly) get more and more of whatever is in those patches accepted upstream, until | |
eventually there was nothing left to patch, and OS X would boot under qemu/kvm "naturally". I plan | |
on trying to bring the patches back in sync with the development brances of these projects as soon as | |
I get some spare cycles, but a prerequisite to that is to get kvm-kmod working with the currently | |
shipping Fedora kernels (as I'd rather not build an entirely separate kernel each time I touch the | |
kvm patch). | |
Stay tuned (or, if you're a Fedora user, try building the latest kvm Git pull against your up-to-date | |
kernel using the latest kvm-kmod Git pull, and let me know if it works :) |
