Nice, thanks. Though I was going to try using Xen on there, rather than kvm - any experience/thoughts on that?

Nope, but I'd be keen to learn of your results.

I was also aiming for Xen initially. However, my host just crashed (can't recall the exact dump) when I tried running a Xen kernel - Alpine or not. I never confirmed if it's due to the Intel N5105 lacking the proper CPU extensions to support Xen or if I could hope to hassle the machine vendor for a firmware update to get it working.

Ha, sounds good. If I remember to I'll necropost ya when I work on it. Otherwise you may see me begging for help on the alpine IRC.
