I'd imagine a lot of kernel developers use virtualisation during development so that they can still boot their machine (though they probably aren't running Macs).
- buserror 11y agoNot ARM developers; my workstation reboots every few months, my ARM boards every few minutes :-) That is, unless you have a qemu port for the SoC in question. That's also why my host /sbin/reboot is "echo Wrong terminal, you idiot"
- trengrj 11y agoHaha I generally try to colour my terminals differently to get around this same issue.
- TD-Linux 11y agoI think he was referring to VirtualBox in particular - its kernel modules are endless sources of problems. KVM has its modules in mainline, so it's a more popular choice for kernel development.
