I use Qemu and it goes real well.
You are best off with the CVS version
easiest way is as root, cd to /opt/ then...
#cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/sources/qemu co qemu
#cd qemu
#make clean
#./configure --cc=gcc32
(if on x86_64 edit config-host.mak and remove sparc-user sparc-softmmu)
#make && make install
you will also need kqemu-1.3.0pre5.tar.gz
If you are on x86_64 there is a trick to compiling this one.
I have found if you edit kqemu-linux.c and remove / comment the
following lines...
// #ifndef page_to_pfn
// #define page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - mem_map)
// #define pfn_to_page(pfn) (mem_map + (pfn))
// #endif
kqemu will compile and load properly. Gets rid of mem_map errors.
don't forget to modprobe kqemu
Here is my qemu network start script...
cat /etc/qemu-ifup ...
<.........................
#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/sh
# You need "youruser ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /etc/qemu-ifup"
in /etc/sudoers
# You also need enough rights on /dev/tun
# Get root if we are not yet
if [ $UID -ne 0 ]
then
sudo $0 $1
exit
fi
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 promisc 0.0.0.0
sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 promisc 0.0.0.0
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0
sudo /sbin/ifconfig br0 "eth0 original ip..." ip.ip.ip.ip netmask
255.255.255.0 up
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1
.................................>
Thus $1 (tap0 - tapxxx) and eth0 get promsc, br0 is created with eth0s
ip etc. Using this I can have 4 instances of qemu going at once using
same script.
You may need to mod the script to get eth0 DHCP assigned address, I'm on
fixed IP.
I start XP with...
cat startxp64.sh...
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/vm
sudo /sbin/modprobe tun
sudo /bin/chmod 666 /dev/net/tun
sudo /bin/chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -kernel-kqemu -hda xppro -net
nic,macaddr=00:09:5B:E0:5E:11 -net tap -usb -localtime -soundhw es1370
-serial /dev/ttyS0
This makes sure tun module is loaded (even though qemu uses tap) and
sets perms.
I also use the RS232 serial interface from Qemu so need to set perms on
that.
OK I know you said NO promiscuous interfaces but...
This works for me.
