Well, good, at least someone is laughing. And yes, kqemu module compiled
with "m-a update && m-a prepare && m-a a-i kqemu", along with installing
via "apt-get install kqemu-common kqemu-source qemu qemu-launcher
qemuctl"

Then modifying /etc/udev/permissions.rules to have 0666 vs 0600 (a
missed typo, by me)

Then getting /etc/modprobe.d/kqemu to have a major of 250 not 50, again
a typo by me.
