[Xen-users] problems will using vmx config

["Jason Jenkins" <jjenkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to use a config for an unmodified vmx guest. I am using the 
xmexample.vmx config as a template. Once I try to create the vmx guest I get an 
error:
 
Error: Error creating domain: (11, 'Resource temporarily unavailable')
 
I tried to do some trouble shooting and started going through the config file 
an commenting out lines starting from the top to see where this breaks. It 
looks like it is breaking at the line that states "builder=vmx". I am running a 
Open Suse 10 with a 2.6.13-15.8-xen kernel with the latest updates. I have 
successfully ran a guest that was created by directly installing to an image 
file using the tools in SUSE. Appriciate any help. Thanks.
