Comment 3 Matthew Booth 2010-09-06 09:16:17 UTC 
The MAC address in the metadata is:

00:16:36:6c:a0:a4

however the MAC address in the guest, pre-conversion is:

00:16:36:70:DB:A5

It looks like the guest and metadata don't match up. Networking would not have worked on this guest prior to conversion. There's not much we can do about that.
