Re: [Qemu-devel] Unknown symbol __PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC

[Darryl Dixon]

Well, I can confirm that this works OK.

Also, congrats Fabrice, this version of kqemu appears to work OK with Win 9x (I booted my Win98SE machine), and the games that I use QEMU to run (AoE2, Civ3, Baldurs Gate 2) all were noticeably quicker.  The speedup didn't seem to be as dramatic as WinXP with/without kqemu, but it was definitely there.

Cheers,
D
