Hi, Aron and all
I can solve this problem by using dom0_mem=1G.
FC6 test3 uses many daemons and services.
Because booting xend is late,
we fail insmod blk/netbk if dom0_mem=512M(default size).
We may have to change dom0_mem of FC6 default to 1GB.
But I think the best fix is (1) statically link the modules.
(Because all kernel-xen need blkbk/netbk and xenblk/net.
ide module is also static link. And because xen community member test
the statically linked modules, I think the statically linked modules is
stabler than the dynamic linked modlues.)
Please give me some comments.
Best Regards,
Akio Takebe
