Yeah, tested on my Archlinux with -enable-kvm
option and it's much faster.
moving to wiki
I did this also and while it does appear to go much faster it also never completes loading. It (quickly) goes through the [INITRD] Load ...
sections but just stops after pci-driver.js
The output to the console is the same for either. But with -enable-kvm
qemu never gets to the terminal.
@morganrallen There is an issue with timers in kvm, looking into it.
@morganrallen Try -no-kvm-irqchip
. Alright, system needs better timers implementation.
@iefserge That's got it working but seems to be in between the two on speed. Cheers,
Also noted this in the wiki
@hij1nx helped me get runtime running on my computer yesterday, but inside runtime is was unbearably slow.
I havn't solved the problem, but I have figured out what the problem was - qemu wasn't running in kvm mode, so it was being entirely emulated, and not taking advantage of any of the virtualization support that my hardware uses. I'm running archlinux on a thinkpad x220, so I have virtualization capable hardware, but it seems I need to enable some kernel modules.
Just leaving this issue here incase anyone else has this issue, and I'll update as I progress and then add this to the wiki.
