<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Host Kernel ==<br />
<br />
The ''host'' kernel is the one you boot the hardware with, and runs virtual machines (KVM guests).<br />
<br />
=== Download ===<br />
<br />
The best place to start is the <code>kvm.git<code> tree (see the [[Code]] page).<br />
<br />
Most PowerPC KVM patches have been integrated in the kernel.org kernel, but additional patches may be found in the <code>kvm.git</code> tree. A set of patches which have not yet been committed to <code>kvm.git</code> is available at http://penguinppc.org/~hollisb/kvm/<br />
<br />
=== Configure ===<br />
<br />
'''Enable''' the KVM options in the Virtualization top-level category when running <code>make menuconfig</code>.<br />
<br />
To allow guests to connect to the network, '''enable''' "TUN/TAP device driver support" and see the [[Networking]] page.<br />
<br />
CONFIG_KVM=y<br />
CONFIG_KVM_440=y<br />
CONFIG_TUN=y<br />
<br />
=== Build ===<br />
<br />
Build and boot whatever target you need for your board/firmware.<br />
<br />
For example, for a Sequoia board running u-boot, <code>make zImage</code> will produce <code>arch/powerpc/boot/cuImage.sequoia</code>.<br />
<br />
For a Bamboo board running PIBS, <code>make zImage</code> will produce <code>arch/powerpc/boot/treeImage.bamboo</code>.<br />
