QEMU
+ +QEMU is an emulator for + various CPUs. It works on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. It's possible + to run grml with QEMU. Notice that it's much slower than running it native + due to the emulation mode.
+ +Using QEMU with acceleration
+ +grml >=0.5 provides the accelerator + module for QEMU namend 'kqemu'. Just run the following + commands to use it:
+ ++apt-get update ; apt-get install qemu # install qemu +modprobe kqemu # load the kernel module +mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0 # create the device +chmod 666 /dev/kqemu /dev/net/tun # adjust permissions+ +
To see if kqemu is enabled and working correctly, use the QEMU monitor + command (press ctrl-alt-2): 'info kqemu'
+ +Problems with Qemu
+ +Black / blank screen
+ +You get a black/blank screen when booting grml in qemu? Try booting with "grml vga=normal".
+ +Running QEMU with grml on Linux
+ +Install qemu (apt-get install qemu) and start it e.g. via:
+ ++qemu -cdrom /dev/hdc # if running from CD-ROM +qemu -cdrom /path/to/grml.iso # if running from harddisk ++ +
Running QEMU with grml on Windows
+ +
First of all download QEMU + for Windows. Download + the grml-iso and put the QEMU files in the same directory as the + grml-iso.
+ +Now create a startup file, call it for example grml-qemu.bat:
+ ++REM Start qemu on windows. +@ECHO OFF +START qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -hdc harddisk -cdrom grml_0.6.iso +CLS +EXIT+ +
Adjust the values if necessary and now run the grml-qemu.bat-file. Have fun + :-)
