However there are some major shortcomings from my point of view (as someone looking specifically for a KVM / hardware virt development platform): - No serial, impossible to see any boot messages. - Display did not work at all until I spend nearly £200 buying a new HDMI monitor and the weird uncommon micro-HDMI cable that the ODROID-XU uses. Now it works after X starts, but not before. Still no boot messages. - Despite a lot of trying, I could not work out how to recreate the boot process from their wiki, so I'm using the ODROID-supplied F19 disk image. - Can only use the Android 3.4 kernel. Possibly an upstream kernel would work, but because I can't see any boot messages, I'm afraid to try because it would effectively brick it. 3.4 kernel doesn't support any KVM stuff, so it's useless for the intended purpose. We need to be running our own self-compiled upstream kernels for serious development.
