Strangely, that had no ill effect on Debian guest hosts, only Redhat. I updated the packages on the parent host and then a new install of RH6 as a VM was much more stable. Here is a bug report discussing the problem as it bit other people: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607650 This is my first encounter with KVM introducing instability you would have never seen on a regular metal host. Too bad the guest host can't detect the version of libvirt + kernel on the parent and issue a warning. --Donald
