Sorry, I missed the comment and did not have the chance to join the meeting of the sprint.

Yes, the linux-oem is designed for consumer devices, and the Device Enablement team is using MAAS with linux-oem kernel to deploy Desktop image and run automatically tests.

Some new hardware design can be only provisioned with linux-oem-osp1 kernel, once the OEM image is deployed to the target machine it will use the kernel package we shipped in the OEM image. The preseed settings does not seems to help on the provision issue.

- Short name can be oem-18.04 and oem-osp1-18.04
- OEM kernel does not have flavors.
- I think we should consider linux-oem is a flavor of GA kernel. I would recommand MAAS use the GA kernel as default. OEM kernel can be used for users who need the cutting edge kernel driver features on their hardware. OEM kernel is usually newer than hwe--18.04 and hwe-18.04-lowlatency.
- Currently we are using 2.5.0.
