Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU dies on any attempt to load a Linux kernel module when using a 9P rootfs

I use it all the time, but I have not updated to a more recent kernel yet. I am at LinuxCon, so I am unlikely to try it until I get home. > On Aug 21, 2014, at 2:50 PM, Christopher Covington > wrote: > > Hi Richard, > >> On 11/25/2013 10:49 AM, Richard Yao wrote: >&
