I don't undestand why they are numbered like the kernel, that's
strange... More specifically, this is the question: If I have a
kernel version N, what kvm-kmod can I compile in it? If I can just
compile version N, then it's useless because that's identical to the
kvm.ko I already had. Or can I compile kvm-kmod 2.6.31.5 in my kernel
2.6.24? That's a strange version numbering... why haven't you used
the same numbering as for qemu-kvm?
And besides, the versioning of kvm-kmod's are not obvious to me: I see
these ones at sourceforge:
Because such numbering proved to be confusing, and you are confused by
it too. The above numbers means just like, kvm-kmod from kernel 2.6.30.1
(say), but "ported" to a wider range of kernels. kvm-kmod is being
developed as part of kernel.
Ok so you mean I can indeed take kvm-kmod 2.6.31.5 and compile it
against my older host kernel?
(except that the host kernel needs to be anyway >= 2.6.28 as you say below)
Did I understand correctly?
Btw, 2.6.24 and in fact anything before ~2.6.28 might be problematic for
real kvm usage, due to other parts of the kernel. Applies to both
host and guest kernels.
Thank you
