Testing KLV-rc7 with Debian 6.1 Kernel Comparing to Void Kernel

@wiak I am experimenting with a KLV-Airedale-rc7 and trying to put together a newer Void kernel but not having much success. Did get rc7 to boot on QEMU with almost a complete Void Linux kernel 6.0.18_1 but the xfce4 panel 1 never showed up there was no response at all from the mouse or keyboard and had to be hard shutdown. I have to test it still on bare metal.
Using @fredx181 script I made a new 6.1.0 kernel from the Debian repo which boots right away, easy to install and the entire ISO is 750 mb.
Going to test @ozsouth 's latest huge kernel with both overlayfs and AUFS just to check that with the skeleton initrd.gz
Now I will build a bare minimum FirstRib rootfs with the Void Kernel 6.1 and try the creation and extraction of the Void Linux kernel for KLV-Airedale.
This should test out working from a blank canvas rootfs to get a trim, efficient kernel and modules

Does this spin utilize the kernel with KVM built-in?
I hope to complete a User Guide for this distro QEMU-KVM setup soon and I want to be as accurate as possible.
This should make it easy for anyone to also create a video from the Guide.

Observations booting the ISO in a VM: Booted from Menu stanza #1 'RAM0 no Persistence'
I was thrown for a loop: The KLV vRC7 shows vRC6.1 on its boot menu and on the very 1st console boot message.
This VM booted very, very slowly to desktop
# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2G -vga cirrus -smp 2 -device AC97 -cdrom KLV-Airedale-rc7.iso

The latest Void Linux 6.1.4_1 kernel worked really fine for me per my report here:

@rockedge I've also now booted your KLV-rc7 with that Debian 6.1 kernel. It booted fine too (posting from it right now), but I don't see any real advantage over it to using the official Void 6.1.4_1 kernel per my report in optimising modules thread:
viewtopic.php?p=78483#p78483
viewtopic.php?p=78482&sid=db40abbfecf50 ... ee3#p78482
Also there is no way your new rc7 will boot in Ventoy because you have missed changing boot/grub/grub.cfg name to that of the new iso name.
Above was bare metal normal frugal install test, but I too now tried qemu - just using simple defaults and booted fine RAM0 mode:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot order=d -m 2G -enable-kvm -smp 2 -cdrom KLV-Airedale-rc7.iso
I notice I didn't get that 'Earth' space wallpaper on desktop though.

@wiak rc7 is just a test run with the Debian kernel! I really want to put the Void kernel into it.
Total success building the new kernel 6.1.4_1 and have put into KLV-Airedale-rc7.2 here -> viewtopic.php?t=7806
We can keep rc7 available for any interest in running KLV with a Debian kernel.
