==================================================================== Load the kernel module into the system. This will also create the device node /dev/plex86. Plex86 needs this device in order that the user-level VM monitor can communicate with the kernel driver. You will need to be root: user> su root> ./misc/load_module.sh root> exit You need to have the kernel module installed in order to use plex86. You should use a configuration file to define many parameters relating to the desired VM environment and peripheral components setup. There are sample ones in the conf/ directory. You can now start up the VM by invoking the user program: user> cd user user> ./plex86 -f ../conf/SOME-CONFIG-FILE-HERE Whenever you recompile the kernel stuff, or want to get rid of the kernel module, remove the old kernel module first. As root: root> <...>/plex86/misc/unload_module.sh ====================================================================
