Well this is very strange, to make it work I have to close the KVM window
and restart the guest, and eventually it will start right.
It is also starting right when I install a new version, like I just passed
from version 40 to 41 and tada my guests starts okay.
I dont have that much trafic on my tap device I just see some normal
broadcast but again now the machine starts okay. I will reboot my box and
see if I get the problem again. The bad thing is that it is not happening
all the time...
Maybe it has something to do with my network configuration. What I do is I
the tap0 is natted behind my eth0 with iptables. I startup the tap0
interface at bootup and I set the owner to the uid that starts the guest os.
Im rebooting now...
