Fedora 13 Live CD: qemu-kvm -cdrom ./Fedora-13-i686-Live-XFCE.iso -boot d -m 384 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -localtime -usb Froze up at "automatic boot in 10 seconds". This is probably because my CentOS 5.5 is 32 bit and I am running a really old version of qemu-kvm. BartPE (Windows XP Personal Edition on a CDROM): qemu-kvm -cdrom ./KAS7.Bart.iso -boot d -m 384 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -localtime -usb -smp 2 Ran very well. Even found my rtl8139. I have to work on the TAP device thing. -T _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
