Debian Squeeze do have buggy kernel. Use or newer kernel from debian sid (3.0 or 3.1), or use forward patched kernel from SUSE (afaik 2.6.37-xen).

Hello, I got Centos 5 installed on my server (Linux srv1.local 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue May 31 14:02:29 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). Then I put Debian x64 6 in DomU with 2GB of RAM. It works perfectly. Recently I increase RAM for this VM to 4GB and it starts to hang randomly. I think it hangs when try to use more than 2 GB (may be more) of RAM. So I created new VM with 4GB of RAM. Boot with debian 6 netinst iso and it hangs during install. I decrease memory to 2GB and installed it without a problem. Windows Server works perfectly with 5GB of RAM on this server.


Same thing with OpenSuse 11.4 (just for test). Installation hang on setting system clock

That is strange, because we using SUSE kernel for debian in product with thousands of virtual machines...

Well, other reason may be the problem with console. Kernel is not actually 'hangs', it just not printing anything on console. Check if domU have correct line in inittab (for xvc0). Or just check if it replays to pings.

It's really hangs. No pings. No activity.
