13:47:35 < Dieterbe> why is that needed? people have reported to me that the images booted fine on kvm
13:47:51 < brain0> they do, but not if you add a cd drive as virtio

13:48:05 < brain0> painfully slow
13:48:44 < Dieterbe> oh i c. install iso initramfs... hmmm , i guess that's done in archiso?
13:49:19 < brain0> I guess too
