Hello Samuel! I've done a few things on zenhost: upgraded the Debian GNU/Linux host system's packages -- not yet to Xen 3.4, but still left 3.2; ist 3.4 safe to use? -- recompiled the Xen GNU Mach, redid the hurd-modules, rebooted the system. Now, all the domains do start fine, but not flubber. I isolated this to the configured amount of memory to be used by the domU. flubber was configured to use 666 MiB. 749 MiB are free, as xm info tells me. However:
tschwi...@zenhost:~ $ sudo xm create -c flubber
Using config file "/etc/xen/flubber".
Started domain flubber
tschwi...@zenhost:~ $ echo $?
0
tschwi...@zenhost:~ $ sudo xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 50 1 r-----

0.0
foobar 6 160 1 -b----
123.4
grubber 144 333 1 -b----
13.4
All of them use the same kernel (the new one), the same hurd-modules
(also the new one), and have the same configuration, differing only in
the obvious parts. And: as soon as I reduce flubber's memory reservation
to 652 MiB, or below, it'll boot fine again.
A log for the 653 MiB error case is attached. Or I can create an account
for you to log in on zenhost and you have a look for yourself.
Regards,
Thomas
