Moving to RHEL since libvirt is not supported in RHEV1.0 production builds and this problem will need to be addressed in RHEL5.4 release

Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2009-04-23 17:04:39 UTC
Hum, I have tried to reproduce the same problem using the same kind of
setting, except for the network configuration of the guest and when
trying for more than 6 times I always got the Welcome to Fedora 10 
prompt showing that the iso file was being loaded.

So I have no idea how to test this, I can't reproduce the problem myself.
Any idea ?

Daniel

as it is not a 100% reproducible bug,I really can't point out a pretty idea for your request, but I want to check:
1.whether you used the libvirt-0.5.1-3.el5ovirt to check this issue?
2.and you could check with the dumpxml when you're running the guest,even when it could start well, then reboot it via #virsh destroy fedora10 and then #virsh start fedora10,replicate this more times.
