I have observed downloads to stall on an RHEL4 i386 guest (on an x86_64
host), such that creating additional network traffic (ie. pinging the
virtual host in question) will "unstick" the download. This does not
happen to a RHEL5 x86_64 guest on the same host, and is quite reliably
reproducible while kickstarting a new virtual machine across a network
(bridged, with a different VM hosting the packages being downloaded).
To me, this smells like lost interrupts; is there anything I can do to
better diagnose the issue?
