KVM modules

List all needed for kvm kernel modules

Run boot-able ISO with QEMU

ISO mime types:

application/x-iso9660-image; charset=binary
application/octet-stream; charset=binary

Check if ISO is bootable and run QEMU if it is.

iso-run.sh

#!/bin/bash
if [ 'XX'"$1" != 'XX' ]; then
 if [ -f "$1" ];then
IfExec=$(isoinfo -d -i "$1" | grep '(bootable)')
  if [  'XX'"$IfExec" != 'XX'  ]; then
qemu-system-x86_64 -soundhw ac97  -k sv -vga std -machine accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=on -cpu host -m 1G -cdrom "$1"
  else echo The '"' "$1" '"' is NOT boot-able.
  fi
 else echo The '"' "$1" '"' is not valid.
 fi
else Use path to the bootable ISO file
fi

In the examples are used KVM modules that need to be loaded depends on your system architecture.

#kvm
#kvm-amd   # For AMD CPUs
#kvm-intel # For Intel CPUs
