Compilation

After Kitten has been configured it can be compiled. This is done simply by executing

make isoimage

This command will compile Kitten (with Palacios embedded in it) and the init task (which will contain the guest OS blob), and then assemble an ISO image file which can be used to boot a machine. The ISO image is located at ./arch/x86_64/boot/image.iso.

This image file can be used for booting a QEMU emulation environment, for booting a remote machine using PXE, or can be burned to CD/DVD for booting a machine physically.
