a reboot issued from the guest shutdowns the guest instead of rebooting it

[Mathias Gug]

Binary package hint: kvm

Host is running 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu5. The guest is a hardy rc.

When issuing a reboot on the command line in the guest, the guest shuts down instead of rebooting.

Here is the guest definition:

virsh # dumpxml hardy-base

  <name>hardy-base</name>
  <uuid>4dea24b3-1252-d8f3-2516-782e98a23fa2</uuid>

I see this too with kvm 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu6.

Jamie/Mathias-

I could not reproduce this problem with 8.04.2 Hardy KVM guest running on an Intrepid host.

Do you have an environment where you can reproduce this?

I could not reproduce this with:
 * Host: intrepid, Guest: intrepid
 * Host: intrepid, Guest: hardy
 * Host: hardy, Guest: hardy

I spoke with Mathias in IRC, and he was not able to reproduce it either.

I'm going to close this with "Fix Released" for now. Please reopen if you run into this issue again.

Thanks,
