David,

There are two unset Xen ballon options ... they are:

# CONFIG_XEN_SELFBALLOONING is not set
# CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not set

I see that you have recommended:

CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y

what about:

CONFIG_XEN_SELFBALLOONING

(Leave it unset or set it to yes as well)

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
