Re: [Xen-devel] Xen runs out of memory!

[Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you running a 64-bit hypervisor? You want to do that, and with latest
xen-unstable, to lift Xen-heap size restrictions. Beyond that, make sure
that other domains (especially dom0) are not using all the memory. Restrict
dom0¹s memory usage by using the dom0_mem= option on Xen¹s command line, for
example.
