"The Key features in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 include:

* Improved virtualization performance and scale
o New, optimized devices drivers for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 virtual guests deployed on the KVM hypervisor that we plan to include in future Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 releases. Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 virtual guests running on Xen-based systems continues as before.
o Virtual guest support for up to 256 disk devices (increased from 16). This will allow the deployment of much larger virtualized applications."
