I had a look at some of the remaining vimage parts earlier today already. Talking with Marko but not finalized yet it seems the plan is to: - cleanup the vimage branch (#includes, I spotted very few mismerges, ..) - merge fast, in small chucks, as long as possible. - try to finish step 2. > I ask because the framework stuff is pretty independent of all this, and > could be added at any time, not necessarily waiting on all of vimage to be > completely integrated.

I am using VMware extensively on Linux and Windows hosts and QEMU on FreeBSD host (with Windows, Linux and OpenSolaris guests) and the only thing I am missing from the latter is the guest USB support. This is not to say that there are no other differences.

It is a matter of nomenclature. It falls in to both the blanket virtualization category and in to the category of actively developed sub-arch. The -ppc, -mips, -arm, -amd64, -i386, -sparc64, and -sun4v mailing lists are all very low traffic (less traffic than I anticipate) and thus, by your reasoning, could all be merged in to a -machdep list. In the event that that happens I will happily redirect traffic there. Cheers, Kip From freebsd at hub.org Sat Oct 18 00:48:24 2008 From: freebsd at hub.org (Marc G.

I have been using kqemu-kmod for few years now and have yet to see any ill effects, apart from rare times when I rebuild kernel and forget to rebuild the module (I used to track -CURRENT, but now I am sticking to RELENG_7). YMMV, but I would certainly recommend giving it a try. Not to belittle VMWare, but I could not get their current kernel modules to build on my Gentoo box, so it is not that immune to kernel changes either.

Ahem... please do not take it wrong way, but 'man qemu' and 'man qemu-img' was all I needed at the time to get started. NAT setup was lifted practically verbatim from "The Book of PF" by Peter Hansteen, and hardly is QEMU specific.

Or, a good generic one? Actually its pretty simple to setup a qemu machine, what i realy enjoy in qemu is the ability to emulate different architectures, for that however i also have a "guide" i used when setting up a linux arm based system on my fbsd. It's pretty much the same(actually its even easier) to setup a x86 qemu based vm. http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php hth, marco Marc G.

Not taken wrong way, this is how I did my first 'jail' setups, but haven't played with QEMU yet, so figured I'd cover all bases before I even start :) Thank you ... - -- Marc G.

FreeBSD.org has two public mailing list archives, one is even spidered by most search engines. Sorry if we do not really care about gmane, at least I do not. You may need to talk to the gmane folks so that they add the list, not to us;-) /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb Stop bit received. Insert coin for new game.

I haven't heard anything for weeks from the so far only person who seemed capable of working on the kernel side of the problem. Which is bad news, as that means absolutely nothing happened in the main problem area. So people who can deal with kernel-level memory allocation (both phsyical and virtual memory) and similar are invited to contact us. We periodically get mail from people who think that getting a working port is just fixing the bunch of trivial build problems. That's the annoying part for us, as those contributors all too often don't realize that it'd be much less work for us to fix those build issues ourselves than to review the changes. However without getting the kernel driver part in a better shape it's totally useless to have a perfectly clean build. Sorry that I can't spend a lot of time looking into FreeBSD mailing lists. If you have anything interesting make sure you put me in the CC.
