Does QEMU generate a system call that goes to libc library and the to the kernel? Then the kernel run it on hardware, kernel replies to libc and libc notifies to QEMU. QEMU replies to guest O.S, is it true? Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com
