Description Wayne Sun 2010-07-20 09:10:42 UTC
Description of problem:
when install a rhel3u9-i386 guest, the guest was detected as rhel4 variant. It would not impact the guest installation anyway.
Debug info:
Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:39:06 DEBUG    Auto detected OS type as: linux
Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:39:06 DEBUG    Auto detected OS variant as: rhel4

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel: 2.6.32-50.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.8.1-15.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-20 09:37:59 UTC
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2010-08-06 18:01:53 UTC
Since this doesn't really have any functional affect, just deferring to 6.1

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2010-08-23 20:40:16 UTC
Fixed now upstream:
