kvm-62 release
Add cpus on the fly to your virtual machines with the new cpu hotplug feature.
Changes from kvm-62:
- portability: make room for the ia64 register stack (Xiantao Zhang)
- fix leak when setting the pv clock to an invalid address (Marcelo Tosatti)
- detect vcpu triple faults (Joerg Roedel)
- fix race when instantiating a shadow pte
- fix host crash on guest kexec
- code cleanups (Harvey Harrison)
- better tsc handling on Intel hosts with stable tscs
- cpu hotplug (Glauber Costa)
- merge qemu-cvs
- new curses display option
- change -hugetlb-path to -mem-path (Anthony Liguori)
- increase pci support from 6 slots to 32 slots
- document ./configure --disable-cpu-emulation (Jerone Young)
- fix powerpc cpu initialization (Jerone Young)
- simplify host_cpuid() assembly code
Notes:
If you use the modules bundled with kvm-63, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.17 upwards.
If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use
kvm-12.
If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use
kvm-17.
Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases.
For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host.

It probably wasn't configured. Do you have the devel package installed?

You are correct - it wasn't configured.
The problem is - I have the package (ncurses-devel) installed, but it is not detected. KVM's "./configure" scripts skips it.
But it works on my Fedora machine.
I have a big problem with ncurses - once the VM enters Graphics Mode, it cannot be killed with start Linux command: "ctrl+C" - tried from KDE Konsole. It can be killed only using "kill". I think it's a bug.
Very nice feature BTW.

using xterm over pekwm (which traps "alt+2") I can use for that "esc+2"
qemu> quit
konsole probably works with the default key bindings for the qemu console under curses which is "alt+2".

Yes, Thanks Carlo, that worked.
Another problem, is that most standard OSes (including most Linux distros) use both Graphical GRUB + Graphical setup by default.
In the hope to improve this situation, I have filled a feature-request for openSUSE:
