AFAIK the linux.joyent.com kernel images should all be deprecated and more or less unnecessary at this point. There *was* a point in time where several of the distros did not boot out of the box under KVM, or include virtio drivers, or include useful things like the tun/tap/SWAN/whatever modules that people want in order to run VPN endpoints out of VMs. ;-) Those issues, I'm happy to say, are now mostly behind everyone - at least with recent releases of the various guest OSes. best, --e ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
