ok, after has been resolved the problems with fedora core 6 in my laptop (compaq r3000), running xen and SELinux disabled, i try to run the koan in my laptop. The scenario as follows: my cobbler server is 136.145.116.114. I set up the next on it: # cobbler distro add --name="test1" --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18... --initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.18... # cobbler profile add --name="test1-profile" --distro="test1" --kickstart=/root/anaconda-ks.cfg.virtual --virt-name="cobblertest" --virt-file-size=3 --virt-ram=250 when run koan in my laptop, as follows: # koan --virt --profile=test1-profile --server=136.145.116.114 i got the next output: - processing profile: test1-profile - fetching configuration for profile: test1-profile - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/profiles/test1-profile - {'kickstart': 'http://136.145.116.114/cobbler_track/kickstarts/test1-profile/ks.cfg', 'name': 'test1-profile', 'virt_ram': 250, 'repos': '', 'kernel_options': 'lang ksdevice=eth0 text syslog=136.145.116.114:25150 devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=16438 syslog=136.145.116.114:25150', 'virt_name': 'cobblertest', 'virt_file_size': 3, 'distro': 'test1', 'virt_paravirt': 'True', 'ks_meta': ''} - fetching configuration for distro: test1 - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/distros/test1 - {'kernel': '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6', 'ks_meta': '', 'kernel_options': 'lang ksdevice=eth0 text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=16438 syslog=136.145.116.114:25150', 'initrd': '/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img', 'arch': 'x86', 'name': 'test1'} - downloading initrd initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img to /tmp/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/images/test1/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img - downloading kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 to /tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/images/test1/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 - kernel saved = /tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 - initrd saved = /tmp/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img - invalid RAM size specified, defaulting to 256 MB libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Error creating domain: I need 262144 KiB, but dom0_min_mem is 262144 and shrinking to 262144 KiB would leave only 244156 KiB free.')

I run again the koan command again and i got the next output: - processing profile: test1-profile - fetching configuration for profile: test1-profile - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/profiles/test1-profile - {'kickstart': 'http://136.145.116.114/cobbler_track/kickstarts/test1-profile/ks.cfg', 'name': 'test1-profile', 'virt_ram': 250, 'repos': '', 'kernel_options': 'lang ksdevice=eth0 text syslog=136.145.116.114:25150 devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=16438 syslog=136.145.116.114:25150', 'virt_name': 'cobblertest', 'virt_file_size': 3, 'distro': 'test1', 'virt_paravirt': 'True', 'ks_meta': ''} - fetching configuration for distro: test1 - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/distros/test1 - {'kernel': '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6', 'ks_meta': '', 'kernel_options': 'lang ksdevice=eth0 text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=16438 syslog=136.145.116.114:25150', 'initrd': '/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img', 'arch': 'x86', 'name': 'test1'} - downloading initrd initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img to /tmp/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/images/test1/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img - downloading kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 to /tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 - url=http://136.145.116.114/cobbler/images/test1/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 - kernel saved = /tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 - initrd saved = /tmp/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img - invalid RAM size specified, defaulting to 256 MB libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Error creating domain: I need 262144 KiB, but dom0_min_mem is 262144 and shrinking to 262144 KiB would leave only 244156 KiB free.')
