OK so I got QEMU running and XP runs fine with '512MB' RAM and so on, however how can I get my CD-Drive working in XP? It does not work by default and I went through the references on the program in the CLI but to no avail, only option is to use an image on a cd...not to physically mount the disk in the client OS and also I have installed kqemu-common and kqemu-sources from the apt-repositories in Ubuntu:

Code:
uholtz@unix:~/qemuimg$ qemu -boot c -hda /home/uholtz/qemuimg/winxp.img -m 512 -localtime
Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated
How can I get kqemu working for extra speed?
