cloudmin instance not starting

Starting up my.bislinks.com .. .. failed : Using config file "/xen/my.cfg". Using to parse /boot/grub/menu.lst Error: (4, 'Out of memory', "xc_dom_boot_mem_init: can't allocate low memory for domain\n")

GETTING THE ABOVE ERROR REPEATEDLY

COULD NOT MAKE OUT IF IT IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM OR WITH XEN SETTINGS?

I AM RUNNING THIS SERVER (TEXAS.BISLINKS.COM) BEHIND ROADRUNNER'S WIRELESS MODEM SBG 6580

APPRECIATE ANY HELP,

THANKS.

I HAVE ALSO ENABLED THE REMOTE LOGIN PRIVILEGES, IN CASE

Looks like your system doesn't have enough memory free to start the VM.

According to the free command it has about 1 GB, but the VM is asking for 500 M .. which doesn't leave much free for the OS.

I REDUCED 500 TO 300. STILL GET THE SAME ERROR!

You might also need to do edit /boot/grub/menu.lst on the host system, and at the end of each kernel line that starts with /xen.gz- add dom0_mem=512MB . Then reboot the host system.

ps - your caps lock key appears stuck.

same error again

In that case, I am not sure what is going on ... this seems like a Xen bug, or perhaps a failing due to lack of memory on the system. Unfortunately Cloudmin depends on open-source Xen to actually run VMs, and if it doesn't work there isn't much we can do :-(

Have you considered adding more RAM? 1 GB is very little for a Xen host .. I would recommend 4 GB at least.

Thanks Jamie, will try adding more ram.
