RE: [Xen-devel] Fw: Not enough RAM for domain 0 allocation
You should be able to get around this problem by specifying dom0_mem= on the Xen boot line, e.g.: kernel /boot/xen.gz noreboot loglvl=all dom0_mem=256M From: ccmail111 [mailto:ccmail111@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 3:43 PM To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-devel] Fw: Not enough RAM for domain 0 allocation --- On Fri, 3/19/10, ccmail111 <ccmail111@yahoo.com> wrote: From: ccmail111 <ccmail111@yahoo.com> Subject: Not enough RAM for domain 0 allocation To: "Fajar A.

RE: [Xen-devel] Fw: Not enough RAM for domain 0 allocation
Hi Dan, Thanks for response. I just tried (with dom0_mem=512M) and see error: "Domain 0 allocation is too small for kernel image" But if I dont use the parameter I see error as in subject line which is different. Question is: does subject line error printed by kernel ? Any kernel parameter that I need to change during build ? Any suggestions ? Is there anyway I can specifiy the max for kernel and xen ?

RE: [Xen-devel] Fw: Not enough RAM for domain 0 allocation
Your kernel and initrd are compressed and still exceed 512MB? That is very unusual. Are you building everything in your dom0 kernel? (e.g. answering yes to all drivers, and everything when configuring your kernel?) If so, that''s not a good idea and is likely contributing to your problem. You didn''t say how much memory is in your machine. If you have enough, you can try dom0_mem=768M or dom0_mem=1GB and so on. If those suggestions don''t work, sorry, maybe someone else can answer but this is probably a xen-users list question than a xen-devel question.

Thanks Dan. I am past that and see different error now: "Xen: Scrubbing Free RAM ............" Then the xterm(screen) goes blank.. Any thoughts ?
