[ovirt-users] experience with AMD Kabini (Jaguar) CPUs

[i iordanov]

Hi Doron,

I haven't purchased the Kabini-based system. I hoping that I would be
able to learn in advance whether an all-in-one installation of oVirt
would work on it. Unfortunately, returning it would be a hassle and I
would not get a full refund for it. If there is no way to discover in
advance whether oVirt will work on the system, I can take a risk. Is
an all-in-one oVirt installation known to work on any of the modern
AMD offerings?

Thanks!
iordan
