Bug#418516: /dev/kqemu is not created automatically when loading module kqemu
Package: kqemu-modules-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18+1.3.0~pre9-4
Severity: wishlist
After loading kqemu module with modprobe, the device /dev/kqemu still
does not exist.
I have to create it :
# mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0
# chmod 666 /dev/kqemu
to be able to use qemu with kqemu accelerator.
Without creating the device manually, I get the following message :
$ qemu -hda hda_etch.img -boot d -cdrom debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso
Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated
Moreover, it will be really great if the module can be load
automatically when using qemu, but I don't know if it is possible.
I am using Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 and qemu 0.8.2-5
