Create bee file with
cp linux-5.4.83-359.bee linux-5.4.87-362.bee
Set VIRTIO_BLK (and VIRTIO_PCI) from "m" to "y" so that we can boot Mariux in a VM with a virtio system disk.
Create bee fil with
cp nvidia_linux-5.4.83-359-440.44-0.bee nvidia_linux-5.4.87-362-440.44-0.bee
When the bee file is executed with `unshare -U -r`, the self-extracting distribution script fails, because it uses "tar" for extraction. tar, when run with uid 0 tries to restore the file owners from the archive, which is not allowed, if we are in a user namespace. Use a little wrapper around tar which implies --no-same-owner.

Having the driver/module in the initrd should also work. At least that’s how the distributions are doing it. |

But this would require an initrd rebuild with every new kernel, plus an increasing zoo in our 'boottime rootdisk label-detector'.

True. I forgot, that the distributions have an initrd per Linux kernel version and rebuild their initrds at each Linux kernel updates. |
