You need more RAM.  Seems to me that the amount of RAM used by dom0+domU(s) needs to be < the amount of physical RAM on the machine.  Try reducing the dom0 or domU RAM.  You'll probably need to run in text mode if you aren't already.

This is my first attempt with xen and I'm following along with the quickstart guide from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5.

I have a fresh FC5 install that is fully updated.  The box is a generic dell with 512MB and plenty of disk space. xend is running ok and xm list reports

Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      256     2 r-----  1393.4

When I issue

xenguest-install.py -n xentest -f /tmp/xentest -s 8 -r 256  -l http://localhost/fc5tree

it fails with the following in /var/log/xend.log

VmError: I need 257 MiB, but dom0_min_mem is 256 and shrinking to 256 MiB would leave only 236 MiB free.

Did I miss a step in the install process?  Is /tmp/xentest supposed to already exist?   Or do I need more physical RAM?
