So it may be that you have to manually trigger a rescan of the kernel definition files in order to see new kernel types after launching the server. Depending on how expensive that is, it could be triggered by reloading the dashboard, or it could be a separate handler. To do it totally dynamically, you'd need some kind of interprocess communication running from installers, and that sounds like a bad idea.<br>
