OK, the shrinking is working now. What I do now is to set a large initial memory size.

Another problem is with the newest pv_ops kernel.

I downloaded the xen-unstable, and compiled it under fedora 10.

Dom0 booted fine, but when I cp the dom0 to a domU (what I did in the stable xen release, convert physical to virtual), the domU can boot, but immediately the vcpu(i set to 2) shrinked to 1 vcpu and the cpu was 100% busy there.

ping and xm console returned nothing.

The same thing happened when I install a precompiled pv_ops kernel to my old domUs.
I tried xen 3.3.1 (2.6.18.8 dom0) and xen-unstable(2.6.31.6 dom0), same problem.
So I think the problem should be the pv_ops kernel.

Do I need some special configuration for pv_ops kernel to use as a domU?

Thanks !

How were you trying to change the memory?  At present, it only supports
shrinking memory, not expanding it beyond its original size.
