How to install kqemu

[guangcheng liang]

Hi,

Now I am studying BitBlaze tools. 

I find that starting a guest operation system using TEMU is very slow. I realized that I should install a tool called kqemu to accelerate it. But I don't know how to install it. I have tried a instruction "sudo apt-get install kqemu",but failed. I expect you can give me the related instructions to install kqemu. Or you can tell me where to download kqemu, because the address http://www.qemu.org/kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz I find in the discussions can't download kqemu.

Thank you very much. I really need help. I am expecting your reply.

If you are installing TEMU on ubuntu, be aware that kqemu is not supported in 10.04 LTS (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kqemu).

Since a reorganization of the QEMU web pages, that download can now be
found at:

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz

This and other locations can also be found via a Google search for the
file name.

It has been a while since I last tried to compile the kqemu kernel
module (it doesn't help for my primary work machines because they're
running 64-bit kernels). So you might have the easiest time if you're
using an older distribution, but it might work with newer kernels as
well. (Older distributions included kqemu binaries, but as Sanjay
mentions that's no longer the case with more recent versions.)

Some other time-saving techniques you may consider in addition to or
instead of kqemu:

* You can do setup operations like installing an OS using a newer
version of QEMU that has KVM support, assuming your hardware is
compatible. However watch out that newer QEMU versions default to
different virtual hardware than TEMU does.

* You can use TEMU's snapshot features (like the savevm and loadvm
monitor commands) so that you don't have to boot the virtual machine
for every experiment.

Hope this helps,
