Hi habdi,

What's your Hyper-V host version? I have tested it in our functional test of snapshot3 (kernel-2.6.18-343.el5 i386). However, there is no this issue.  Just now I failed to reproduce it with hypervkvpd-0-0.7.el5 on our Hyper-V host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host: Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V Server Core 
Hyper-V Version: 6.1.7600.16385
Guest: RHEL5.9 i386 (kernel-2.6.18-343.el5 i386)
Hypervkvpd package Name: hypervkvpd-0-0.7.el5

The hypervkvpd package is not a part of "RHEL 5.9 Beta Snapshot 3".

Changing the component to "releng".

It is also part of basic installation of VT (virtualization) variant on both Client/Server.

Similar results for RHEL5.9-Client-20121122.0. hypervkvpd is not part of the Virtualization comps group. Moving to VERIFIED.

Comment 10 habdi 2013-01-21 22:25:45 UTC

So when i install a RHEL 5.9 GA, it still does not auto install hvkvpd . 

rpm is available to install , but it should have been installed while installation of RHEL 5.9 OS .

The hypervkvpd package is in the Virtualization group with the name 'Hyper-V'. Please choose it when install the guest.
