Reproduced with an F18 host. Changing version to 18. $ rpm -qa 'qemu*' | sort qemu-common-1.2.2-4.fc18.x86_64 qemu-img-1.2.2-4.fc18.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.2.2-4.fc18.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-1.2.2-4.fc18.x86_64
Thanks for the reproducer Steve, it reproduced for me. A patch for another vmware issue also fixes this one, so duping to that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 836260 ***
