I see your point, but I am concerned that we already have a parallel test execution implementation (see control.parallel), so either your patchset needs to fit in with the control.parallel approach or we might think of another approach. I have thought of some ideas, will check your approach and comment about it soon. > The present unattended install file (kickstart, xml) need to be modified > to make them work with this patch.

I already gave a brief look on the SLES unattended install support and I like the approach, maybe we should split your change in: 1) Add support to SLES install + add SLES 11 autoinst XML 2) Parallel install of guest OS 1) is pretty low hanging fruit, we can benefit from it soon, 2) needs more care and thought. Even if that means modifying it a little bit later, could you split them and send me 1) first so we can get it integrated and then 2), which will pass through some rounds of review? > I will be happy to re-implement or modify the patch based to your > comments and also extent support for other OS like windows.
