I am slowly doing my stage two testing now. I have been finding very few issues that is pretty good since 3.1 is just going into feature freeze but I did find one that is kinda a show stopper and weird for me. I installed windows 2003 using my Dell CD on my Dell Hardware. On both ESXi and Xen Server windows authorization fine because the installer sees the Dell bias in some way but under oVirt it doesn't. From my research it looks like the feature is called SLP. Is there anyway to pass the Dell SLP info to the installer like it is done under both Xen and Vmware ESXi? I assume it would be a libVirt option of some kind I just can't find it.

Some specific SMBIOS strings are being passed to identify the hypervisor. There isn't a feature that enabled passing select host bios strings in oVirt yet (patches welcome) but you can do this with a hook, see here http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=vdsm.git;a=tree;f=vdsm_hooks/smbios;h=c61ce...

Thanks Robert
