Congrats to Natanael and everyone else who helped get 2.6 into shape!
I've got Alpine installed as a Xen guest on a Linode instance. To do
this, I built my own stripped-down Xen-guest-only kernels. (The x86_64
linux-grsec also worked, but the x86 one doesn't have Xen stuff turned
on. I didn't try Alpine's linux-xen package, which is intended for Xen
hosting, and so enables stuff I didn't need/want on my guest instances).
If anyone else is interested in these stripped-down kernel configs,
perhaps we could make an additional kernel package. Or I could at least
post the current version in a gist for others to lookup if they ever
have the need down the road (and stumble across this email).
They're here: https://gist.github.com/dubiousjim/5538673. That's
currently for 3.8.11, but I have versions for kernel 3.9.2, too. I'll
update the gist files sometime soon.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn't grokked what that kernel package
was for. When I get a chance, I'll work on merging my configs and the
configs from that existing package.

Yes, to support older hw. (if you have really acient hw, what distro
would you pick?)

Yes, I am interested, but I'd like a kernel for a generic virtual guest
that works for xen, kvm, virtualbox, vmware and hyper-v. We have the
linux-virt-grsec kernel for this purpose
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/testing/linux-virt-grsec
Unfortunally, it is lagging behind. If you use it and plan to maintain
it anyways... maybe you could help us maintain it?
I would be ok to start over with your config and then add other virtual
drivers on request.

I just pushed today testing/linux-virt-3.9.3.
I tested that booted in qemu, and it worked. If there's something
missing/broken, please just let me know.
Thanks!

And 2 days ago I upgraded it to 3.9.4 -- everything works so far under
Xen and KVM. Is anyone against moving it to main?

We don't have an official maintainer yet iirc. I don't ncopa is keen on
maintaining it. I can help with maintaining it, but I'd welcome an
hand :)
I didn't test it extensively, but I don't have objection in moving it to
main if we have maintainer(s).

Just tested under my KVM VPS and it hangs at this:
"rtc_cmos 00:00: setting system clock to 2013-06-02 12:26:31 UTC
(1370175991)"
I think we should disable this option:
CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y
I'll build a new release with above option disabled tm.
