Xen users - Jun 2006 - memory problem, possible bug in testing

Hello, i have this problem:

Hawaii0 xen # xm create Hawaii1
Using config file "Hawaii1".
Error: I need 129 MiB, but dom0_min_mem is 128 and shrinking to 128 MiB
would leave only 68 MiB free.

But I really have enough memory.

I hit the same problem:  xm reports zero free_memory as soon as xen0 boots.

This seems to be due to xend using an old version of the pythong files.
The bug happened when I only copied xen distribution files to
/usr/lib/python/xen.  If I copy from dist/install/usr/lib/python/xen to
/usr/lib/python2.3/ and restarted xend, it sees free_memory.

Must have to with XEN_PYTHON_NATIVE_INSTALL but I don''t do python and
and just left that alone.
