kvm (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
|
|
for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions
|
|
(Intel VT or AMD-V). kvm is divided into the kvm-kmod package
|
|
(kernel modules) and the qemu package which are both available as
|
|
separate Slackbuilds.
|
|
|
|
kvm-kmod consists of a kernel module, 'kvm.ko', that provides the
|
|
core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module,
|
|
'kvm-intel.ko' or 'kvm-amd.ko'. Slackware provides these modules
|
|
in the 'a/kernel-modules*' packages. In most cases, the provided
|
|
versions are sufficient to run qemu with kvm support. This kvm-kmod
|
|
package is only needed if you want to change the kvm modules to a
|
|
different version.
|
|
|
|
kvm-kmod updates the modules without overwriting the ones provided
|
|
by Slackware. If you uninstall kvm-kmod, you will need to run
|
|
'depmod -a' to regenerate the modules.dep and map files to regain
|
|
access to the Slackware provided versions.
