I'm a tad stuck here, looking for help.. Do any Fedora users out there
have pointers to Fedora specific docs (examples?) on KVM and networking
? I'm F8 but will take F7 docs.
My situation..
I have a KVM'ed OS that cannot communicate with the outside world, I
understand this is because unlike Xen, KVM does not automatically
configure 'bridge networking'.
None of the Fedora docs (including beats) show any references to setting
up KVM networking and simple list "use qemu-kvm".
Upon running 'qemu-kvm' it complains with :
open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support
That's easy, after you
modprobe -v kvm-intel
you will have /dev/kvm. You can then give yourself rwx permissions by
group, or whatever. I am in root group, so I just
chmod g+rwx /dev/kvm
to get it done. Some of the docs claim selinux has to be disabled, I'm
not willing to do that (yet) as all the non-networked stuff works just
fine as is. I build software under BSD, run Windows applications, etc.
But the network stuff doesn't want to work, even when I create a bridge,
etc.
And when I attempt to load my network device as a bridge device I get :
Bringing up interface eth0: Bridge support not available in this kernel
So I'm referring to the qemu docs for help but so far I'm finding Ubuntu
specific docs and I'd rather like to get this working sooner rather than
later.
There is bridge module and utility stuff to download, the machine on
which I did it is offline (and FC6) at the moment, so I can't give details.
I never did get kvm working for network access, and I'd rather use it
than xen if I could, so if you get it done a one screen howto would be
useful. There's some stuff I pulled off virtual.org (from memory)
