[Xen-users] Not enough memory error with kickstart

[Stephen Childs <childss@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to boot a XenU into kickstart under Scientific Linux 3.0.5 (I 
don't _really_ need to but it would be nice to have the option!) I've got 
something like this in my Xen config:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-xenU"
ramdisk = "/var/xen-grid/gridui02/initrd.img"
memory = 256
name = "gridui02"
disk = [ 'file:/var/xen-grid/gridui02/fs/root,hda2,w',\
'file:/var/xen-grid/gridui02/fs/swap,hda3,w' ]
extra = 'ks=http://gridinstall02.testgrid/ks/gridui.testgrid.ks 
ksdevice=eth0 ramdisk=131072'
where the initrd.img is a kickstart one. It seems to boot OK but then I 
get the message:
                  +----------------+ Error +----------------+ 

                  |                                         | 

                  | You do not have enough RAM to install   | 

                  | Scientific Linux on this machine.       |

                  |                 | OK |                  | 

                  |                 +----+                  | 

                  |                                         | 

                  |                                         | 

                  +-----------------------------------------+ 

This happens regardless of how much memory I assign to the VM. The kernel 
boot messages seem to report the available memory OK:
Memory: 800980k/819200k available (1596k kernel code, 18168k reserved, 
466k data, 92k init, 0k highmem)
Any ideas on how the memory check is being performed and why it's failing?
