[ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable

Just an FYI.

In my case the balloon driver was installed and it was running. The 
problem was eventually resolved by uninstalling the entire agent suite, 
rebooting and reinstalling it. Doing the same just for the balloon 
driver didn't work.

regards,
John
