Can you check if anything is present in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/mybooksdb2.log and attach to this BZ if found. Also, check is 'ps -auxwf' shows any QEMU process running ?

ok works now, sorry for false alarm started qemu (seems it didnt start on boot unlike chkconfig says) also used less memory (2047) put selinux into permissive mode.
After this it hangs here: ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through 8259A ... ..... (found apic 0 pin 2) ... ....... failed. ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ...
RE comment #5, you are hitting this QEMU bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488759 See the attachment on that bug, showing exactly same log as you have I'm going to leave this bug open for a while, until I figure out whether we can get better error reporting for the initial problem you reported (too much RAM)
Okay, so the goal here is to see if we can replace: libvirtError: internal error Domain mybooksdb2 didn't show up with e.g. libvirtError: qemu: at most 2047 MB RAM can be simulated
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I'd like to confirm that when I received this error, I did not have QEMU installed and running and I had SELinux completely enabled on its default settings post-FC11 install. By installing and starting QEMU and changing SELinux to permissive, the error went away and the virtual machine kicked in. Though, it may have just been one or the other, not both QEMU and SELinux. I did not try using over 2047MB of RAM.
Fixed upstream in 0.6.4 by: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=27d72bd517 which depends on a fairly large previous patch. Since this only makes diagnosing errors easy, I'm not going to backport to F11 and mark it as fixed in rawhide.
