Set this issue status as assigned. Fixes have not been ported to 5.5.z yet, so failure is expected. (In reply to comment #8) > Fixes have not been ported to 5.5.z yet, so failure is expected.

(In reply to comment #9) > (In reply to comment #8) > > Fixes have not been ported to 5.5.z yet, so failure is expected. > > Which fixes Zach? comment #4 states that the fixes are there. Are there more? I checked the 5.5.z git tree and no changes had been ported. I haven't worked with z-stream before so I'm not 100% familiar with the process. Now I can't access git at all. [zamsden@mysore rhel5.5.z]$ git pull fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly On second thought, perhaps I'm a bit confused. The changes would be to the KVM module, which isn't part of the 5.5.z git tree. In fact, I don't know where the KVM tree corresponding to 5.5.z lives. Is there a kvm-rhel5.5.z.git tree to which these should be ported? Also, there were two patches, the first required a correction. Perhaps one of them is missing. I'll check as soon as git access is restored. Okay, it looks as though the kvm-rhel5.5.z kmod is built from the branch rhel55/next in the kvm-rhel5 git tree, and that Eduardo just pulled the second fix into that branch. All should be well now. Verified on kvm-83-164.el5_5.30,passed.
