Comment 1 Egon Kastelijn 2006-12-14 17:34:34 UTC
I migrated the machine (and the Xen-guests) to FC6 with yum.
The problem still exists with kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen on FC6.

Another way to reproduce the problem is to do a xenguest-install.
This produces some nice HTTP traffic over xenbr0, which causes the symptoms in
syslog.

Comment 3 Chris Lalancette 2008-02-26 23:41:31 UTC
This report targets FC6, which is now end-of-life.

Please re-test against Fedora 7 or later, and if the issue persists, open a new bug.

Thanks
