==> For a quick try: <==

1] Get the working  'Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage'(built with Sasha's config); kvm tool binary ; minimal linux disk image  from here:

- 'bzImage' and 'kvm' tool binary  -- http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/native-linux-kvm-tool/working-native-linux-kvm-tool/
- minimal linux disk image -- wget http://wiki.qemu.org/download/linux-0.2.img.bz2 && bunzip2 linux-0.2.img.bz2

2] And run the hypervisor like this to boot into the minimal raw image.
---------
# ./kvm run -k ~/tinker/native-linux-kvm/linux-kvm/arch/x86/boot/bzImage  -d /export/testimages-nlt/linux-0.2.img
---------
sh-2.05b# ls
bin  boot  dev	etc  lib  lost+found  mnt  proc  root  sbin  tmp  usr  var
sh-2.05b# df -hT

sh-2.05b# pwd

sh-2.05b# mkdir /export
sh-2.05b# echo test > /export/foo.txt
sh-2.05b# cat /export/foo.txt 
test
sh-2.05b# 
---------
To quit, type 'exit'


NOTE:Kernel configuration used is from Sasha Levin. Thanks a lot to Sasha Levin and Pekka Enberg for helping me debug and answer my questions.

==> If you want to compile your own kvm tool. and try, then: <==


1/ Install all the pre-reqs. on the host (Fedora-15)
	+ Ensure to have these packages -- gcc, glibc-devel( both archs - x86_64, i686), make. 
		- yum install gcc glibc-devel glibc-devel-2.14-5.i686, make  


2/ Clone the repository. (Ensure to have the latest)
	+ git clone git://github.com/penberg/linux-kvm.git (#note this takes a little time, if there isn't already a local tree w/ you)	
		- *Ensure* to have this fix in your tree (kvm tools: Fix wrong kill() PID in commands)
			- kashyap@kvm$ git log | head | grep -i d70c50362d82a02c3b02e25c9082e5a55d54a97b
			- https://github.com/penberg/linux-kvm/commit/d70c50362d82a02c3b02e25c9082e5a55d54a97b


3/ Compile the 'kvm' tool:
################################
[root@moon kvm]# pwd
/export/native-linux-kvm/linux-kvm/tools/kvm
[root@moon kvm]#

[root@moon kvm]# make

4/   Get the .config file( I used Sasha Levin's .config -- which has all the appropriate krnel configuration options.)
Located here: http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/native-linux-kvm-tool/working-native-linux-kvm-tool/sashal-linux-config

[root@moon linux-kvm]# make -j5

NOTE: I tried my own,  see my notes here for problems I've encountered: http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/native-linux-kvm-tool/native-linux-kvm-tools-notes.txt . Penberg, Sasha and others are currently trying to take a look at this.

5/ Now, boot the minimal guest image like

#./kvm run -d linux-0.2.img
