Re: [Xen-users] RHEL5 Xen can't allocate more then about 1.7GB RAM toHVM guest



I ´m with the same problem.
Exists solution for this in version 3.0.3 of Xen ?

I'm trying to create guests on a 32 bit system that has 12GB of RAM
running RHEL5.  I want to give each guest 2GB, however I am running into
the following error upon creating the guests:

malloc returned error 12

Based on some searching, I've tried setting the dom0_mem at boot
manually to 1GB, as it seems this may be caused by not being able to
find enough continuous address space.  Not sure if the current RHEL5 xen
kernel has implemented the patch for that or not.

Here is my xm info:

I can give each guest up to about 1750MB, but once I approach the 1800MB
mark I run into that error.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!
