Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: xen domain creation problem: msg#00074

Subject: Re: xen domain creation problem
I think the first error (about the ballooning) happens because there isn't enough RAM for your VM. Once you fix that, you should be able to run the installer properly. You may need to set your dom0 memory to your total memory minus 32MB (for xen) minus 256MB (for the fc5 installer). I have 512MB of RAM and it wouldn't work until I set the dom0 memory to 192MB. There's a line in my grub.conf that I modified to look like this:
  kernel /xen.gz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 dom0_mem=196608

As for the second problem, about the boot loader.... I'm trying to figure that out myself.

Hello. I am having problems getting xen setup and working on a FC5
install.  I have been following the instructions from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5

[root@client ~]# xenguest-install.py
What is the name of your virtual machine? vmxen
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
  What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /home/vmxen
 How large would you like the disk to be (in gigabytes)? 4
 What is the install location?

Starting install...
Using config file "/etc/xen/vmxen".
Error: Error creating domain: The privileged domain did not balloon!
If your install has exited, you can restart your guest by running
'xm create -c vmxen'.  Otherwise, you can reconnect to the console
by running 'xm console vmxen'
[root@client ~]# xm create -c vmxen
Using config file "/etc/xen/vmxen".
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have attached xend-debug.log and xend.log files.

Any hints on what I should look at next ?
