Comment 2 Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues 2009-05-07 20:21:53 UTC
Info about the guest: 10GB raw image, 1 processor, 1GB of RAM.

Comment 3 Peter Jones 2009-05-07 20:43:02 UTC
I couldn't replicate this with current rawhide.  Any chance you can retest with a newer tree?

Comment 4 Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues 2009-05-08 12:47:18 UTC
Yes, will grab a nightly build with the latest rawhide and report my results.
