(as the accelerator > module is still alpha, i dont had the guts to use it yet ;)) Ahem... I have been using kqemu-kmod for few years now and have yet to see any ill effects, apart from rare times when I rebuild kernel and forget to rebuild the module (I used to track -CURRENT, but now I am sticking to RELENG_7). YMMV, but I would certainly recommend giving it a try. Not to belittle VMWare, but I could not get their current kernel modules to build on my Gentoo box, so it is not that immune to kernel changes either.
