I assume you mean qemu-kvm commandline: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name rhel6.x86_64 -uuid 9129e4e4-15d3-00e2-e9de-2c28a29feb52 -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/rhel6.x86_64.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -boot cd -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6.x86_64.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=raw,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/boot.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -device virtio-net-pci,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=54:52:00:70:e8:23,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -net tap,fd=49,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 I'm using virtio-blk w/ cache=none for the root device. virtio-blk isn't used for any other devices in the guest.

No, the guest is using the upstream kernel.org kernel. Hence my report of an upstream regression. The guest is using RHEL6 userspace (udev in all its glory, etc). > What KVM userspace are you using on the host? What comes with > F13 or some updated version? Just what comes with F13.
