I have done a little more research, and did finally find something by drastically changing how I was searching. The guest is having problems with the VM systems 'bios' and how it handles the W2k8 power off requests. It looks like it was fixed with KVM-72 or newer, and a newer kernel. Based on that information, gleaned off of a CentOs forum, I would venture a guess that getting off Fedora 9, and to 11 or 12 would be the best bet. I will keep digging and test the VM after a host upgrade ~Seann smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
