If they are different hardware, then using the same kernel on them might not be a good idea. (Unless you're planning on using a genkernel & loading everything as modules, rather than going with a monolithic kernel.) |

It sounds like a project that could end up being very complicated. |

|
| 5 |
I'd probably make a base build for each hardware model, then use that to make a base-build for each server type (db etc..) |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I'd end up with more base builds to deploy, but they'd still image over easily once built. |

Good luck! |
