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.

How many domains are already running? Xen's own private heap can be exhausted even when there is guest memory available.
