[TriLUG] qemu and xen

[Shane O'Donnell]

You can't run the QEMU Accelerator, because it tries to access the CPU
directly.

Otherwise with plain jane QEMU, you should be good to go.  Just make sure
KQemu isn't hooking the Accelerator part.

Oh, and in case it wasn't obvious, without the Accelerator, performance is
going to S-U-C-K.  You may want to remove all the sharp objects from your
home before trying it...

Good luck,

Shane O.
