I am not sure if this is relevant but i had the problem that the host
system had to have the paravirtulised guest support (its in processor
type and features in 2.6.26-3 kernel) compiled into the kernel before
the guest virtual machine would see more than 3.5gb memory.
Then recently i found that sometimes if you have a good few virtual
machines running with lots of ram i sometimes get segmentation faults
but i think this is because of the balloning becasue i was overloading
all the ram i had.
