hi, i've got a centos-5 x86_64 kvm-35 host system with one centos-5 i386 and one x86_64 guests. but none of the guest are able to restart. ie. i login to the guests and restart it. it start's as normal reboot, but after the last command (shuting down md device) it's do nothing, but in virt-manager i see 50% load on the guest. the biggest problem currently i can't find any way to restart any guest's other then shutdown and use virt-manager and restart them:-( what can be a problem? is it a known bug or it's just not working for me?

It's known, but ATM there's no fix available. For more details see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/5651/focus=6003 and following mails.

is this really true? this means kvm are not usable any real environment since imho the feature to be able to reboot a server is essential!
