[Bug 337072] New: XEN Can't start a Domain: Error: (12, ' Cannot allocate memory')

Today I started a PVM-Domain without any problems. When I try to start a HVM-Domain i get the error-msg: Error: (12, 'Cannot allocate memory'). But this should not be possible. The system has 12 GB memory and the pvm-domain uses only 396 M.

After a reboot of the system there is no problem to start both PVM and HVM-domains. For better diagnostics i attached some files.

I have started several pv and hvm guests on 10.3 and unable to reproduce. It sounds as though you were able to start the guests after rebooting the host. From the xend.log snippet is appears any necessary ballooning was done as far as xend is concerned and the exception is not very helpful. Without reproducing this is a hard one to debug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This bugreport was based on the XEN-PAE-Kernel ona Intel-Machine with 12 GB-Memory. On my Notebook which runs with XEN to, I never had this problem. I can not test at the moment if this problem does exist under the kernel from the actual Patchset, because we have upgraded all our machines to XEN 3.2 and the XEN-Kernel 2.6.18 from the XEN-Repository. Under XEN 3.2 this problem seems to be fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Agreed this issue does not exist in Xen 3.2. We have been testing Xen 3.2 extensively as it will be the Xen version in SLES10 SP2 and openSUSE 11.0. Closing as fixed for now. Feel free to reopen if the issue can be reproduced. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also, I can provide you the access to that machine, if it's relevant. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
