Yes, it should be fixed in the latest cset. We tested cset 11678 and it works
now.

After set NR_CPUS to 16, we can boot up 16 vcpus in Guest. It's due to our env
mistake. Thanks for your hints.

I have tried cset 11624 and using vi still will make Guest hang. If you work in
text mode and use vi, it's easy to reproduce it.

>Is this HVM guests using the vnc viewer?
The issue exists in both vnc and sdl mode. We found it in Windows Guest and
Xwindows mode in Linux Guest.
>> 12. Can't set acoustic on VMX IDE
>Acoustic as in noise control, yes? Why would you ever need to?
Yes. It is an IDE hard disk feature. We can set it in Native Linux. But can not
in VMX domain. So we report it, although it is harmless.
