Before you get too excited, the board's firmware is comBIOS, which is a
Soekris-specific firmware that is designed to work well with a serial
console.  I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but I did give KVM virt a
quick pass and did not get it working.  They do run a 64-bit Linux, with
good support for serial console and gigabit Ethernet.


Any ideas why KVM didn't work?

Unless, the comBIOS cripples the VT-x feature, CLI qemu-kvm  with
"-vga none" is worth a try.


I re-call such a discussion on the Soekris mailing list, can't locate the thread, but there were issues with virtualisation even though the atom chip supported it.
