Just to be clear, we are talking para virt guests here. I updated the Summary line to be a little clearer

Moving back to assigned as a blocker bug for this has been found.
*** Bug 428826 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Clearing dev ack as it is not clear that this is solvable in RHEL 5.2.
This may remain tech preview of RHEL 5.2. Not sure it was noted in RHEL 5.1. But there needs to be a note on it.
added to RHEL5.2 release notes under "Feature Updates => Virtualization:" <quote> The following Virtualization updates are also included in this release: <snip /> * (x86_64) You can now run 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts. This capability is now included as a technology preview. </quote> please advise if any further revisions are required. thanks!
revised note (as per BZ#425411): <quote> You can now run 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts. This capability is now included as a technology preview. Note, that the ability to save, restore, and migrate 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts is not functional, and as such should not be attempted. </quote> please advise if any further revisions are required. thanks!
Nonono, it MUST specify that this tech-preview status only applies to paravirtualised guests. Fully virt 32-on-64 support has been there since GA, fully supported.

This request was previously evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, but Red Hat was unable to resolve it in time. This request will be reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
Hi, the RHEL5.2 release notes will be dropped to translation on April 15, 2008, at which point no further additions or revisions will be entertained. a mockup of the RHEL5.2 release notes can be viewed at the following link: http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL5u2relnotesmockup.html please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by bug number. Cheers, Don

I guess this bug is no longer needed since 5.4 was released, so closing it as CURRENTRELEASE. Chris Lalancette
