Rebuild QEMU with the patches in <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520284>, using a version of QEMU that still has kqemu in it (version < .12, I think). -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
