QEMU version 0.9 is already out for some time, but AFAIK no official package is available for openSUSE Linux 10.2 yet. Here are some steps I did to have QEMU 0.9 with accelerator (kqemu) on SUSE 10.2. The motivation is simple: I'd like to have a faster system for filter development.
QEMU 0.9 comes, among others, in binary package. I found out that this works well, so just download qemu-0.9.0-i386.tar.gz then unpack it to /. You'll see some new stuff in /usr/local/.
Next step is to install and use accelerator. This time I did compile it from source. First, get kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz, unpack it, then run the usual steps: ./configure follows by make and sudo make install. Don't forget to have kernel sources (install kernel-source package from YaST if necessary) in your system before doing this.
OS: Fedora 21. I'm running OS X as a qemu guest, with the latest upstream Fedora 21 builds. I am passing through a number of PCI devices to the guest: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650. Nvidia GeFroce GTX 650 audio. USB 3 controller. Realteak audio (ALC892) I have attempted to use: HDAEnabler1.
It’s time for for me to create an up-to-date QEMU on Mac OS X. I had wonderful success yesterday getting QEMU compiled and installed on my Commodore 64x running Linux Ubuntu beta 12.10 yesterday. I’m working from home today on my Macbook Air laptop, so I’ll today, I’m doing it for Mac. Note that QEMU can also emulate Mac OS X 10.0 up to 10.5. At some point in the near future hopefully, QEMU will fully replace SheepShaver, but at the moment, SheepShaver still runs faster in most situations. Advantages of using QEMU vs SheepShaver: Mac OS 9.1.x and 9.2.x emulation (SheepShaver cannot) Much more stable networking (SheepShaver.
Now do the following:
![]()
After that, load the accelerator (kqemu) kernel module:
Now, run your virtual machine using the extra -kernel-kqemu option, e.g:
If you forget to load the kqemu kernel module, you'll get the following error message:
otherwise, nothing shows up and your virtual machine is executed as usual.
To verify that kqemu works, activate the monitor using Ctrl+Alt+2, then type in info kqemu followed by Enter. You should see:
(Exit from the monitor using Ctrl+Alt+1)
If, for some reason, you don't want to run the virtual machine with acceleration, use the option -no-kqemu, e.g.:
Now, info kqemu on the monitor would give:
I tested QEMU 0.9 with Windows NT 4.0 as the guest operating system. Even without acceleration, I've seen performance improvement compared to previous versions of QEMU. With acceleration (kqemu), it was even faster, although the kqemu documentation says only Windows 2000 and XP are supported. Benchmark done using CPUBench showed that the virtual machine runs roughly equal to a 300 Mhz and 1.3 GHz system without and with kqemu, respectively. Now, that's an improvement!

In the latest release notes, I saw that Qemu can now run OS X!

The installer for 10.4 will run, but it’ll then freak out saying that this model of mac is not supported. Â The ‘working’ cli I’m using is:

Sure the colours are off, and it is kind of pokey, but still the more guest OS’s on Qemu, namely for something like the PowerPC. Â If anyone has any better idea of how to fully run OS X on Qemu drop me a note! Â Plus there is additional information on the mailing list.
