[virt-tools-list] vm fails to boot, need to modify guest registry

[Kenny Armstrong]

Nope, I tried changing disk(0) to disk(1), then both rdisk and disk to 
1, then just rdisk by itself.  It's the damnedest thing, I've never seen 
this before.

It happened to two servers, one running RHEL 6 as a host, and the other 
Scientific Linux 6 as the host.  Both on the same day.
