Please test with kvm-83-114.el5 - it contains the fix for bug #502543, and it may fix this bug too.
Comment 6 Suqin Huang 2009-09-16 03:36:41 UTC

Test this with kvm-83-105.el5_4.9, this problem does not exist.

1. Install guest with 4 vcpu & 8 mem

Comment 8 Miya Chen 2009-10-13 06:06:28 UTC 
Retested with kvm-83-114, this problem also does not exist.(in Comment #6, after update kvm, did not reload kvm module again, so the patch did not take effect).

So close this bug.
