try what is said in the error

"To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root:
umount /dev/shm
mount -t tmpfs -o size=144m none /dev/shm"

sudo su

umount /dev/shm

mount -t tmpfs -o size=144m none /dev/shm

exit

and then try running qemu again

awesome script worked flawlessly

don't work with edgy :

I can confirm this.. even if I AM root, it won't let me run the install script on edgy:

ERROR: You must run this script as root!

Well I had it working good on another install on a different partition, now I tried on a fresh install of Dapper and after almost 2 hours of waiting (I'm on dialup if you didn't read my previous posts) I get this:

Configuring KQEMU...
No Makefile file present in /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build/ - kqemu cannot be built

make: *** [kqemu.ko] Error 2
ERROR: Unable to Compile KQEMU...

So I try running qemu anyway, what the heck--I had an image prepared with Vector Linux installed, ran great before.

qemu -hda vector.img -boot c -localtime -m 80
bash: qemu: command not found

Something went wrong in the install, what could it be?

I am runing ubuntu 6.10 (amd64) I did everything that was said in the forum but i cant run the make command:
$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build/ M=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `INSTALL/kqemu-1.3.0pre9'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic'
make: *** [kqemu.ko] Error 2

This is what I got, I cant understand what is the problem.
Please help

A can confirm that it does not work on Edgy 32bit.

Anyone up for the task?

The biggest problem I have with manually installing and running is that I get this error when running with network:

It works fine without kqemu, but is slow.

Guys the installer works perfect for me until it trys downloading kqemu, I recieve the following error;

Downloading KQEMU...
--08:50:08-- http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/...3.0pre9.tar.gz
=> `kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz'
Connecting to 192.168.2.220:3128... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
08:50:08 ERROR 404: Not Found.

ERROR: Unable to download KQEMU.

I know why this error occurs it is because the qemu people have removed that file, is it possible to change something at my end to sort this problem out?

The current active file at qemu is ; http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/....0pre11.tar.gz

I managed to workout how the file is being pulled down, but being a total newb, I cannot work out how to make the correct changes to the code..

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I just stopped being an idiot and looked at the variables used in the config and made changes to the install.sh file to include;

KQEMU=1.3.0pre11

Adding this line looks for the newer versions of the kqemu build and then installs perfectly.

Thanks for not answering and making me look more of an idiot!!!

In case it helps anyone else:

I made the changes below to the install script to install qemu0.9.1 and kqemu pre 11 on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper on AMD64.
After making the obvious updates to the version names of qemu and kqemu, I got an "Invalid parameter..." error. I just removed the parm "--kernel-path" and it's building away now.
