I think it's the stock debian 2.6.18-1-k7 kernel, not sure as it's a disk image from someone else's machine. The config has CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_MK7=y http://jim.sh/~jim/tmp/config-2.6.18-1-k7 I've managed to get it to boot with KVM by booting first with -no-kvm and installing the 2.6.18-1-686 kernel. And that seems to mostly work, except that I get occasional random segfaults inside the guest OS. I also get the same thing when booting e.g. a FreeBSD liveCD (FreeSBIE). Sigh. Not sure how to easily reproduce or debug that. -jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
