Hi,

The QEMU x86 CPU emulator version 0.4 is available at
http://bellard.org/qemu. QEMU can now launch an unpatched(*) Linux kernel and give correct execution performances by using dynamic compilation.

QEMU requires no host kernel patches and no special priviledge in order to run a Linux kernel. QEMU simulates a serial console and a NE2000 network adapter. X11 applications such as xterm have been launched.

QEMU can be used for example for faster kernel testing/debuging and virtual hosting.

Enjoy!

Fabrice.

(*) Two bytes must be changed in order to remap the kernel at user addresses.
