Message-ID: <CAMof6LAyNcugf3RyB7G4xD7PQ45kL=CvG6S+Pe=5mQVq1Y=-6A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

Thus far, I've been testing my kernel patches in a KVM vm with a full
distro installation, but it's pretty slow and cumbersome.

Valerie Aurora has a blog post on using User-mode Linux, and others
mention QEMU with an overlay filesystem and BusyBox.

What do people recommend for quick iterative development, with good
GDB integration?

Cheers,
Laurence.
