Hi. I have a domU that refuses to start up. It reports an error allocating memory. There appears to be sufficient memory in dom0 as well as on the host. I can restart other domUs no problem.

To resolve the issue I'm having to restart the whole server. Which is a bit disruptive.

Details follow.

Regards, Peter
