Description of problem: Attached 12 disks when boot guest, guest can not recognize them.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The error has been fixed and this request has been re-proposed for the current release.
I can reproduce this. I can't see problems if I choose consecutive index numbers. Can you confirm this? If so, I think it's not an important use case and we may close the bug.
try guest rhel6.64 on 2.6.18-238.el5 & kvm-83-224.el5 1. can boot up guest and get attached disks with index order 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 2. can not boot up guest with index order 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
There's an easy workaround, won't fix the bug in RHEL 5 therefore.
