When entering the command as said in the installation section of the documentation 'kvm -m 2G -drive file=$(echo debian-hurd*.img),cache=writeback' I get the following in the terminal. Is this normal? I am not a professional at using qemu. "WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'debian-hurd-amd64-20251105.img' and probing guessed raw. Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted. Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions. kvm: Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory kvm: failed to initialize kvm: No such file or directory kvm: falling back to tcg" Other errors I get when starting the Hurd is that the filesystem is not unmounted cleanly, and dos partition I/0 errors, unable to get block sizes, Cleaning up temporary files failed. The biggest thing that keeps me from testing the Hurd right now is qemu giving these two errors in the vm. The keyboard and mouse work fine when starting the vm, but stop working all the sudden in a while. It usually stops working after typing root as the username. I could also try to get one more command in, but it my keyboard seems to stop working after that. My keyboard is fine out side of the vm. kbd: queue full mouse: queue full Thank you for taking the time to read this email and trying to help me out. I am a bit new to the Hurd and qemu.
