Damn it, not those damn downloads again! I need to start testing it on a 
box without internet access to find all those stupid things.
Thanks for letting me know about the fix, I will look into adding 
patches asap (also the one to remove auto-downloads).
In the meantime, please compile it on a internet-enabled-non-kvm machine :-)

Also, I must say that 4.2.x never reached production stage on my test 
machines, mainly because dom0 would freeze in random intervals. So, it's 
my opinion that rolling it back would make no sense (just in case).
