and try
If it doesnt work please report a bug here:

Regards
Bhavani Shankar.
Thanks Bhavani, but that doesn't help. I am trying to follow the tutorial at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
which worked fine in Gutsy. The problem occurs when I get to step 7. Before I report a bug please see the output of 'man update-modules' below and also my comments at the end:
NAME
update-modules - obsolete command
SYNOPSIS
update-modules
DESCRIPTION
update-modules is an obsolete command which does nothing. Any program
calling it should be fixed.
Note that the file /etc/modprobe.conf is not the exact equivalent of
/etc/modules.conf. It is not required for module-init-tools and is not
generated any more. In fact, most people should not create that file
since /etc/modprobe.d/* would be ignored in this case but Debian pack‐
ages store their additional configuration files in /etc/modprobe.d/.
SEE ALSO
depmod(1) modprobe(8) modprobe.conf(5)
BUGS
This program should be removed after modutils will have been removed
from the distribution and no package will try to use it anymore.
My comments: What commands should I now use in step 7?
Hello
Sorry for late reply as I m down with ill health... use the depmod command..
sudo depmod -a
You have to wait for sometime until the command executes as it probes all the modules...
More on depmod
man depmod -a

Sorry to hear you are ill Bhavani, I wish you a speedy recovery and thanks for your help. I have been unable to reply as our telephone line has been out of order for over a week and only just been repaired. I have now discovered that Hardy has Virt-Manager and KVM built in to it and our new machine (AMD Athlon64 dual core) supports this, so we'll probably not bother trying to use QEmu on the old (reserve) machine, we'll just leave it as dual boot, so the problem is effectively solved.
