I've had to do the same for my Fedora hosts with Centos guests. You can put
STP=on
in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
to force this bridge to always use STP.
Also, adding
NETWORKDELAY=15
to
/etc/sysconfig/network
will force you network startup script to hang for 15 seconds during
start up. This gives the STP a chance to settle before any other
services attempt to use the bridge.
