Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-02 20:16:01 UTC

RHEL 6 will include a kernel later than 2.6.25, so this should not be an issue.

The feature requested has already been accepted into the upstream code base
planned for the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

When the next milestone release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is available,
please verify that the feature requested is present and functioning as
desired.

Comment 3 Mike Gahagan 2010-04-08 17:17:10 UTC

Confirmed KVM is in the -19.el6 kernel. Please open new bugs for any issues found during beta testing.

Comment 4 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-07-02 19:14:42 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
