Mike, Can you please try it with RHEL7. I think that we will never get to it on RHEL6, but it is worth fixing. (In reply to Ronen Hod from comment #3) > Mike, > > Can you please try it with RHEL7.

Hi, Ronen I can not reproduce the original issue on RHEL7 host qemu-kvm-1.5.3-66.el7.x86_64 seabios-bin-1.7.2.2-12.el7.x86_64 I am trying to try some svvp tests by using this configuration on RHEL7 hosts ,same jobs passed as well Mike (In reply to Mike Cao from comment #6) > (In reply to Ronen Hod from comment #3) > > Mike, > > > > Can you please try it with RHEL7.
