Thanks for dropping by on this fantastic May afternoon.
New: Network Time Protocol server at ntp.stanleygarvey.co.uk - set your clock now; it may be later than you think.
New: Slackware mirror at rsync.stanleygarvey.co.uk. an experimental rsync server. Get slack now.
Update:
I have been looking into virtulizaton using qemu-kvm-0.14.1
I have been following Alien Bobs Wiki, Bob has an excelent slackware package for qemu-kvm-0.14.0, however I wanted to learn more so I got the source and compiled it.
Using the same networking route as Alien Bob uses I also installed VDE2. It is an external dependancy.
Mmm. Things did not go too well. Got a lot of problems with the Network interface card , firstly the Nic was not recognised with an install of slackware-13.37. Problem was modeprobe was loading the 8139too, it is recommended that you use 8139cp. I solved this by commenting out the entry in /etc/modprobe/blacKlist.conf, as it is blacklisted. Next I had a problem with the virtual Eth0 not coming up, seems my macaddr was wrong, you need to start your 6 byte Mac address with the hex string 52:54:. I.E 'macaddr=52:54:xx:xx:xx:xx' Now it just works, this it seems is a KVM convention for nic's.
