Xen users - Oct 2005 - Domain 0 allocation is too small for kernel image

Domain 0 allocation is too small for kernel image

 

That''s the error message I get after installing FC4 and following the
instructions on 

 

http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart

 

running kernel - 2.6.13.1.  I partitioned Fedora to have 6GB on a 30GB
drive.

 

I have tried adjusting dom0_mem=256M on a system that has 1GB of RAM and
still no luck

 

Any thoughts?

 

-Todd

What mobo you going to test with, with recent hg snaps
I have made trying to bring up SMP guests has been an adventure.

I am testing with tyan 2462 SMP.

I also appended that too to the kernel bootparam line and the results
were the same.

We are using an internal platform (single proc/single core 939 (FX))
based on the VIA K8T800Pro chipset.

I don''t personally know anything about this problem, but from what
I''ve read on the list it seems like it could be an issue with an
initrd.  Try looking through the list archives for FC4 and initrd

I had the same problem, and got this answer from the mailinglist:


"2.6.12-1.1456_FC4xen0 fails to boot (2nd Case)"
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169157 >

The work-around for me, at least with that kernel version, is to use the
xen package from < http://people.redhat.com/riel/xen_for_fc4/>. However
I''ve long since lost faith in having a stable xen server based on the
FC4 packages (and arguably the xen3 branch)

I just used the old Xen version that is available on the fedora installation
CD (and prevent updating :-)

Hi Todd,

If your read the instructions (and lists) carefully, you''ll find that
the
memory allocation needs to be specified in KB.
eg. dom0_mem=262144

Marcus.
