Hi,
I'm new to the list (and relatively new to Plan 9).

Anyone that has installed P9 under Qemu using kqemu can give me infos 
about which kernel version (on the host), wich version of qemu/kqemu 
it's using?

As I'm trying to use Qemu to install the current P9 distribution I run 
into trouble: while using kqemu the startup process dies at the 
beginning (before seeing the "kfs... ..." line on the screen), with a 
"panic" message.

If I don't use kqemu, the process goes on, I can start the "copydist" 
task (but, hey, it's terribly *SLOW*).

Using the free kernel module (qvm86) for qemu allow me to proceed in the 
installation process :) and to start the "copydist" task, which however 
  dies while copying data (around 6% - 9%).

Some infos:
- host os: kernel 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 on Fedora Core 2
- qemu: 0.7.2
- kqemu: 0.7.2
- qvm86: snapshot of 2005-10-08

I've not found infos on 9fans about this kind of probles; any 
suggestions on what should I try?

Thanks,
PS:
booting the cdrom seems to be working fine without crashes.
well, is someone using kqemu at all here? For me plain qemu is working 
_very_ slowly (very! very! slowly on 1GHZ pc).
