Heia,

I have created a bunch of FreeBSD (current) images using Yuan Jue's excellent 
howto
(http://www.yuanjue.net/xen/howto.html) and also his kernels.
Starting out with Xen 3.0.2 on a slackware linux dom0, they worked fine.
However, after I upgraded to Xen 3.0.3 they suddenly refuse to start:

===
root@iejoor:/xen/hosts/benv1# xm create -c freebsd_xen_RUN 
Using config file "freebsd_xen_RUN".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
===

Peeking through the xend log reveals:
===
VIRTUAL MEMORY ARRANGEMENT:

 Phys-Mach map:    0xc02c7000

 ENTRY ADDRESS:    0xc00314c0
ERROR: Initial guest OS requires too much space
(0xc08MB is greater than 256MB limit)
 (0 = Success)
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS
===

I noticed that the '(nil)' value wasn't there when running Xen 3.0.2.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

I tried a linux image just for testing purposes, and to my surprise that one 
boots without problems.

Thanks for reading :)

Wouter.
