I have posted about this problem a few times and even
though I have received answers from list users nothing
has worked.  I was downloading mediawiki on Debian
when I encountered a out of memory error and the
process was unable to fork.  When I cat
/proc/partitions in the domU it shows:
major minor  #blocks  name
   3     1    3072000 hda1
   3     2     196608 hda2
and a top shows this:
top - 09:58:16 up 26 days, 19:13,  1 user,  load
average: 0.03, 0.07, 0.05
Tasks:  50 total,   2 running,  48 sleeping,   0
stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  0.0% us,  0.0% sy,  0.0% ni, 100.0% id,  0.0%
wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
Mem:    129156k total,    92060k used,    37096k free,
       0k buffers
Swap:        0k total,        0k used,        0k free,
   59400k cached
That is the only problem that I believe I''m having
with my xen installs (yes all of my installs on Debian
exhibit the same problem).
I have sent my kernel configs and domain configs but
...
If someone can help let me know.  I was thinking of
implementing a xen server for this company but I don''t
feel secure that in case things get heavy on the
server there will not be any swap space.  I would
rather the server thrash swapping than die.

Is this because you never configured it? What does /etc/fstab contain? In particular, does it have any references to swap? Has the partition you intend to use for swap (/dev/hda2?) been formatted as such with mkswap? Are there any message in dmesg about swap? What happens if you do "/sbin/swapon -a"?
