Libguestfs - Jul 2009 - Test failure w/ libguestfs-1.0.61 on RHEL5 -- needs virtio support in guest kernel?

See attachment for full logs. Appears at first glance to be related to 
the lack of support for virtio-net in the guest kernel.

Switched from virtio to e1000, and libguestfs-1.0.61 now Works For Me. 
(e1000 is more stable in my experience anyhow -- but then, I'm a 
stick-in-the-mud who doesn't trust virtio-blk either).

See attached patch.

False alarm -- this is on account of my host running a non-stock kernel 
(incidentally, more modern kernels also use a squashfs module 
incompatible with the userland tools from CentOS 5). I've tweaked the 
RPM to disable supermin, am running a custom build, and should be much 
happier when it's complete.

Sorry, 'yall!
