I have performed a basic FC5 install for the purpose of texting Xen. The machine is a Compaq Evo P4-1.5GHz with 384M of RAM. http://jailtime.org/download:centos:v4.3 I downloaded a CentOS 4.3 Xen image from the above URL for the purpose of testing, the CentOS image in question was designed for 128M of RAM so should run nicely on a machine with 384M. kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU" memory = 128 name = "centos.4-3" dhcp = "dhcp" disk = ['file:/xen/centos.4-3.img,sda1,w', 'file:/xen/centos.swap,sda2,w'] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" Above is the contents of my /etc/xen/centos config file. Below are the errors I get in my /var/log/xend-debug.log file. The command "xm create -c centos" gives the error "Error creating domain: The privileged domain did not balloon!". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDomainDir.py", line 77, in op_create dominfo = self.xd.domain_create(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 226, in domain_create dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 182, in create vm.initDomain() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 1203, in initDomain balloon.free(m + fudge) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/balloon.py", line 120, in free raise VmError('The privileged domain did not balloon!') VmError: The privileged domain did not balloon! Any suggestions on what I should try? I repeated the same situation on an identical machine (I have a set of identical Compaqs for testing) running FC5 with some packages upgraded to rawhide versions (but there seem to be no usable Xen updates in rawhide). I'm trying to fix the SE Linux policy bugs related to Xen but I can't even get Xen working in permissive mode.
