-KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
-for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT
-or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides
-the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module,
-kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although
-work is underway to get the required changes upstream.
-
-Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux
-or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware:
-a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
-
-If you'd like to build this for a kernel other than the one you're currently
-running, you can do something like this:
- KERNELVERSION=2.6.27.15 ./kvm.SlackBuild
-
-This script requires a 'kvm' group to exist before running. The recommended
-GID is 221. You can create it like this:
- groupadd -g 221 kvm
-
-After installation, add user to kvm group and re-login. Don't forget to load
-kernel module kvm-intel (or kvm-amd if you use AMD processors).
