here is some technical background about the features (both optional and
mandatory) that docker needs to run successfully.
Linux version 3.8 or above

@ -39,6 +40,15 @@ The symptoms include:
- kernel crash causing the machine to freeze for a few minutes, or even
completely.
Additionally, kernels prior 3.4 did not implement ``reboot_pid_ns``,
which means that the ``reboot()`` syscall could reboot the host machine,
instead of terminating the container. To work around that problem,
LXC userland tools (since version 0.8) automatically drop the ``SYS_BOOT``
capability when necessary. Still, if you run a pre-3.4 kernel with pre-0.8
LXC tools, be aware that containers can reboot the whole host! This is
not something that Docker wants to address in the short term, since you
shouldn't use kernels prior 3.8 with Docker anyway.
While it is still possible to use older kernels for development, it is
really not advised to do so.
