> Did you test the vm part? I ran it and I can see that it starts up and provides ssh, apparently, but I have no idea how to connect to its network.

Works well. The only part I removed was the install-u-boot part so
that it only installs the extlinux.conf. I think this is close to what
we want and can be merged at some point. (Probably after the next
release, I think people are working on getting core-updates merged at
the moment)

I haven't been able to thoroughly test it yet, since my beagle bone is
too underpowered to compile a linux-kernel for itself. It fails with
failed to allocate memory when creating the compressed kernel image.
I'm hoping that there is a substitute available soon, but I can't tell
from looking at the gnu.hydra.org web interface...
