kqemu issue

[David Bendit]

Just a shot in the dark here, but did you try running qemu under  
sudo? Could be that kqemu requires root privileges to run. You should  
also check dmesg for any erroneous messages related to kqemu. I  
haven't worked with it in over a year, so these are just guesses, but  
they're worth a shot.
