Re: [Xen-users] ramdisk option in domU config file does not work

[Boris Lenzinger <boris.lenzinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I had this problem (well I think it was the same): you do not have 
enough free memory to run your instance.
run:
xm info

It will tell you how much free memory you have.
First solution is to decrease the memory in the configuration to check 
if you can run your configuration.
If it is working (and you need more memory), decrease memory of dom0.

If still not working, what is the log file saying ? (/var/log/xend.log 
on a fedora distribution)
