Hi all,

further testing showed that Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2008 SBS 
all show the same before: during installation and while expanding files, the 
DomU's reboot all of a sudden. I discovered this in the qemu log files:

xc_map_foreign_batch: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory
xc_map_foreign_batch error 12


Googling this does not provide me with a lot more info. Anyone ever seen these 
messages and able to give a workaround?

thx,

B.
