I'm not familiar with kvm but is this a 32 bit guest you are trying to
assign more than 3.9 gigs to? if so that may be why it is not working.

I try to add a new guest into my KVM RHRL 5.5 x86_64 server. This
server has 32G of memory and currently all other guests are not running.
When using the command line virt-install with 4G ( or more ) of memory
for the guest as the below command, I get the error "could not query
memory balloon allocation". When I change it to 2048 or 3072 the
command works fine.
Using virt-manager ( the X interface ) to add a new guest with startup
memory of 8G works fine too.
(Note : this is a KVM ( not Xen ) server. The server and LVs get their
names from the previous installation)

William, thanks for your reply. This guest is a 64-bit RHEL 5.5 guest.
Although virt-install fails with 4G or more, but virt-manager can
install it with 8G so I think the problem is not on the guests.
Vu
