Just FYI - I think I know what the problem is...

DomU's (OpenSuSE 11.1) xen kernel has PAE enabled, while Dom0's (OpenSuSE 10.2) doesn't.

Hi,

I have a Xen server running OpenSuSE 10.2, with Xen version 3.0.3_11774.
It's happily hosting two DomU's running the same OS / kernel.

Now I tried to create a new DomU running a newer OS - OpenSuSE 11.1. It
comes with Xen version 3.3.1_18494_03.

Unfortunately for me, it doesn't work - this is what I get:
  
xen1:/etc/xen/vm # xm create NEW
Using config file "NEW".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
    
And this is what I get in /var/log/xen/xend.log:

Is there anything I can do to make it work - besides upgrading the Dom0
or running an older kernel on my new DomU?

 Thanks, Danilo
