[12:36] <xnox> nibbon_:  you could clone and diff the configs..... in practice kvm can only boot in reasonably recent qemu with virtio devices only. No floppy disks, no legacy hdd, etc.....
[12:36] <xnox> nibbon_:  all the old hardware is turned off.
[12:36] <xnox> kvm also has filesystems built-in to allow booting without initrd.
[13:47] <nibbon_> xnox: wise advice :)
[13:47] <nibbon_> so I think I cannot use it for booting a hypervisor :)
[13:48] <nibbon_> the name is a bit misleading though
[13:58] <xnox> nibbon_:  it is a kvm-guest kernel. but i think one can boot dom0 with it, and baremetal too if one does a little bit of care to ensure that one has uefi and all the legacy drivers are turned off in the bios.
[13:59] <xnox> nibbon_: reading linux-kvm - did you expect it to be KVM Host kernel?
[14:04] <nibbon_> xnox: yeah, I did
[14:48] <xnox> nibbon_:  it could be, but i don't expect it, to be the best one. Canonical Distribution of Openstack normally deploys on linux-generic, or linux-hwe-XX.YY
[14:49] <xnox> which is the default server flavour.
[14:49] <xnox> (aka KVM hosts)
