Hi!

I also see this error message after upgrading to the latest Xen unstable 
changeset 9925 (I did a "hg pull -u" today). With my previous Xen version 
(changeset 9515) I had no problems. Going back to 9515 is a workaround for now.

Console error message:
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Config file:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xenU"
memory = 80

/var/log/xend.log:

Is this a Xen bug?

Cheers,

Christoph
