Dear Mike, This is a big problem! It seems that we are dropping the support on Linux running in LDom. So what is the future of LDom roadmap for the Guest OS?
So who is going to address this issue? Since we have pitched based on the corporate slides that we support the ubuntu and Gentoo! Any comments from others as well?
