Module (KQEMU) is automatically activated provided you have the
necessary kernel headers. If nonetheless the compilation fails, you
can disable its compilation with the <SAMP>`--disable-kqemu'</SAMP>

If your distribution uses udev (like Fedora), use the kqemu module

-When using KQEMU, QEMU will create a big hidden file containing the
-RAM of the virtual machine. For best performance, it is important that
-this file is kept in RAM and not on the hard disk. QEMU uses the
-<TT>`/dev/shm'</TT> directory to create this file because <CODE>tmpfs</CODE> is
-usually mounted on it (check with the shell command
-<CODE>df</CODE>). Otherwise <TT>`/tmp'</TT> is used as fallback. You can use the
-<VAR>QEMU_TMPDIR</VAR> shell variable to set a new directory for the QEMU
-RAM file.
