I can confirm the patches working against kvm-33 with up to 14G guests, tested 32-bit Feisty guest, and 64-bit feisty guest. Both working fine. I'm trying to get on a box with more ram so I can test larger guests. -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx (512) 838-9253 T/L: 678-9253 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
