Theoretically it didn't, in practice... I doubt requiring modified kernel is of itself a problem, in that new kernels will have the relevant changes in (or can be easily applied). Or is the concern just that it might not be a representative test environment, I think that will apply whichever virtualisation technology one uses. I suspect the LKML is probably a better place for the question. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
