           Summary: Domains hang, no console, cannot be destroyed
           Product: Xen
           Version: unstable
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: treed-bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


After resolving the issue in bug 226 I was able to start a domain, or so it
seemed. xm create /etc/xen/mail.conf would return me to the command line but xm
list showed:

Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU VCPU(s)  State  Time(s)
Domain-0           0      251    0      1   r----    602.3
mail              29        0    0      1   ----c      0.3

Should Mem be 0? xm destroy seemed to have no effect in killing this domain. I
tried starting it again to get console and see what was happening:

root@localhost xen]# xm create -c mail.conf
Using config file "mail.conf".
Started domain mail

And my terminal hung there. Ctrl-c, ctrl-z did nothing. xm destroy would return
my prompt with no errors but xm list still shows the domains. At this point I
was unable to start any more domains. xm info shows:

free_memory            : 113

So the hung domains were eating up all of my RAM. I had to reboot the system to
kill the domains and get my RAM back.

The point of this install was to get some experience using xen but unstable
still seems to have a number of issues so I am going to wipe this box and give
stable a try now.
