Very cool! I am giving it a try right now. Good so far.

Have you had stability issues on 7.8 with it, or has it run fine?

When I upgraded from 7.7 to 7.8, I kept having kernel crashes while
running Monero.

To help debug this, I've created a 7.7 and 7.8 VM, both with Monero
running. The 7.8 one is your port, built on 7.8.

Now I have found a flag that appears to help with the stalling:

--db-sync-mode=safe:sync:1blocks

I think it may be slower, but the system doesn't seem to lock up.

Well, yes. I understand this :).
