Here is Dom0's grub.conf:

default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Gentoo Xen-2.6.32
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz
module /boot/kernel-2.6.32-xen root=/dev/sdy1

title Gentoo Linux 2.6.32-r7
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/sdy1 real_root=/dev/sdy1

title Gentoo-Xen 3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz
module /boot/kernelXEN3 root=/dev/sdy1

title Gentoo Linux 2.6.27-r8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sdy1
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r8

# vim:ft=conf:

Doing some research about this issue i found that it might be solved by adding dom0_mem to grub.conf. Now my grub.conf looks like this,

default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Gentoo Xen-2.6.32
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=4000M
module /boot/kernel-2.6.32-xen root=/dev/sdy1

title Gentoo Linux 2.6.32-r7
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/sdy1 real_root=/dev/sdy1

Gentoo booted fine but i still get the same error whenever i try to create a virtual machine

xm create -c /etc/xen/sl4.7-32bits.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/sl4.7-32bits.cfg".
Error: (4, 'Out of memory', "xc_dom_boot_mem_init: can't allocate low memory for domain\n")

Any sugestions ?
:(
