I`ve searched for many documents about KVM and QEMU and some of the documents say that KVM can not create a Virtual Machine without QEMU, and some of them say that QEMU only handle the I/O task of VMs so can someone please explain what exactly QEMU does when I combine KVM with QEMU. I tried to create a VM with KVM, without QEMU and I succeed. by the way, I`m using Ubuntu Server 11.10 thanks for an

I have downloaded the source code package for QEMU version 0.15.1 and unpacked it in my home directory. The following commands are then run:

$ ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu $ make # make install

The source code compiles without any warnings or errors.

Given that Oracle seems to be growing increasingly hostile, it seems that it might be good to migrate off of VirtualBox to KVM/QEMU. However, I have some concerns.

VirtualBox (Oracle's version, not the OSE edition) supports USB devices and setting up a shared directory that I can use to share files between the host machine and the guest machines.

I am developing a linux kernel and I am trying to to debug it in QEMU. I want to be able to run it in QEMU but it stops because I do not have a virtual hard drive to boot it(using the -hda command).

On October 3rd, in a security notice Canonical published details about a QEMU vulnerability for its Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 11.04, and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS operating systems.

According to Canonical, QEMU could have been made to crash or run programs. It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain VT100 escape sequences.

I have been using Virtualbox for a long time, and want to move to Qemu. The most important features for me would be usb support , and also I need the network modes provided by Vbox: NAT, bridged network and Host-Only adapter. Sometime I need to switch between them and Vbox allows me to do this quickly from it's user interface.

When it comes to Linux virtualization, QEMU is one of the common parts of the virtualization stack. It's a very common emulator that provides dynamic binary translation and can run many unmodified guest operating systems on many different architectures from x86_64 to MIPS and PowerPC...

In the wise words of Wikipedia, "Virtualisation is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources". Within this definition sits a whole variety of products - Sun's VirtualBox, Parallels, Bochs, Xen, KVM, Qemu, various flavours of VMware and many others.
