Hi, I am playing around with libvirt and KVM on a Debian sid system (with a self-built kernel 2.6.36, 64bit kernel and 32bit userland). I have pulled libvirt 0.8.4 from experimental. When I try staring a VM using virtu-manager, I get the error message "Error starting domain: operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation". This is probably some weird timing issue - when I have an strace attached to the libvirtd, everything is fine. In the #kvm IRC channel, people have told me that there may be an issue between some kernel versions and some libvirt versions, but neither the list archives nor the git changelog of 0.8.5 indicate such an issue (and #virt on oftc is quiet as usual). Can anybody explain what is going on on my system and what I could do to work around the issue?
