http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/HOWTO1 says to build kvm I should get the latest kvm-release.tar.gz. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Downloads says "If you want to use the latest version of KVM kernel modules and supporting userspace, you can download the latest version from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599."; That page shows the latest version is qemu-kvm-0.11.0.tar.gz. The most recent kvm-release.tar.gz appears to be for kvm-88. So which file should I start from?
qemu-kvm is the userspace component, kvm-kmod is the kernel component as an external module. 'kvm' is a package containing both.
In general the best place to start is with the distro provided packages. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
