 HermitCore applications can be directly started as standalone kernel within a virtual machine.
 In this case, [iRCCE](http://www.lfbs.rwth-aachen.de/publications/files/iRCCE.pdf) is not supported.

+Please build HermitCore and register the loader in the same way as done for the multi-kernel version (see [Building and testing HermitCore on a real machine](#building-and-testing-hermitcore-on-a-real-machine)).
 If the environment variable `HERMIT_ISLE` is set to `qemu`, the application will be started within a VM.
 Please note that the loader requires QEMU and uses per default *KVM*.
 Furthermore, it expects that the executable is called `qemu-system-x86_64`.
