Hello,

I have had "cannot allocate memory" problems after having a try whith
the XEN 4.0 rc1 (which don't work on my system) and reverting to 3.4.3.
I had to reinstall all the 3.4 stuff and correct the "dom0_mem" in the
grub.cfg and the "dom0_min_mem" in xend-config.sxp (making both of them
equal and disabling balloonning ... I don't know why, but I have not
seen any "cannot allocate memory" since the update.

Regards

JPP
