AFAIK, kvmtool wasn't integrated into 3.1. Is it stable/mature enough
to run plan 9?

Hm, that's odd. 9vx runs ok in ubuntu in tinycore, but not in arch.
Maybe the thing is in Arch's kernel config or patches (although, stock
kernel is quite vanilla...)?
Are there Arch users to confirm?
I have not had any problems, but I run the 9vx-hg package (could be a
vx32 version difference?). The freezing behaviour seems very strange -
something with the WM? I run dwm now and KDE before and did not
experience any freezes due to vx32 in either. The only crashes I have
experienced have been some experimental compiles (never succeeded under
9vx) using the Plan9 port of GCC 3.0, but those crashes were quite
graceful and did not bother the rest of my system.
