Interestingly even though it's 'bare metal' you are stuck using their kernel: https://community.scaleway.com/t/official-linux-kernel-new-m...

/proc/cpuinfo hints at Armada XP so I thought mv_cesa crypto would be available but alas, no:

  # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i cesa
  CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_MV_CESA=y
 
  # grep -i cesa /proc/crypto
  #
Shame. Does anyone know what CPU is that exactly? The Soc in the picture at techcrunch seems to have a Marvell logo.

edit: it's definitely marvell, dmesg references 370_xp clocksource, armada xp pincontrol and aurora L2 cache controller.



There was some discussion of that in the original announcement. Apparently the kernel requirement is because the root fs is a network drive, and the system PXE-boots: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9309661
