I spent days trying to get this to work on Linode, then Mikrotik announced CHR http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/cloud-hosted-router/89979/1 which worked first try, You just need to dd the raw image in the finnix environment to the linode boot disk, I have it happily running on Linode(kvm hosts) you’ll just need to wait till they release it, or use it with the demo 1mbit limit.

The step by step guides provided by linode are very relevant to installing CD iso’s onto Linode hosts, I followed the guides for the way I did for the failed attempts (but the virt drivers are missing so the kernel wont boot)
