Hi Fabio,
Thank you for your escalating for 5.2.
As to z-stream, I'll clarify it again. I just requested because I saw the
following comment in their report.
> Fix Target: 5.1.
> errata Request: Yes
Actually, there is no explanation why they cannot wait 5.2. Though I
guess, they need to provide this fix for the customer having 5.1.z
subscription. Despite my guess, I'll have them explain the need.

issue 130237
This is a feature, not a bug. Windows is not officially supported as a guest on RHEL at this time. Targeting 5.2 and will discuss other possible options with Brian Stein en company. Currently, we have no mechanism to deliver a feature between minor updates. PM ACK for 5.2 QE ack for RHEL5.2. Appears we have patches and reproducer mentioned in bug intro. Can we get a comment from Development on whether this will be in RHEL5.2. We
already have PM and QA ACKs.

The goal is to deliver the para-virtualized drivers for RHEL (RHEL3/4/5) by the
end of this year (2007) , the Windows para-virtualized drivers are currently
targeted to be available in early 2008. The drivers are currently tested by a
number of customers and if you have customers interested in testing a beta
version of the (RHEL) drivers we'd be than happy to work with them and provide
the drivers.
Fujitsu, is this a problem with the new drivers? If so, this issue would be a
bug in a promised feature.
Setting needinfo for clarification on question in comment #6, This issue is unrelated to drivers. Even if para-virtualized drivers is used, the problem still remains. Thus we need these patches. Patch was previously POSTED but needs to be reworked against 5.2, will be POSTED soon. Changing component to kernel-xen. in 2.6.18-73.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-73.el5 is OK. We confirmed the source code and the test passed. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0314.html |
