FAQ

Where did the memory of my dom0 go??

After killing a vm, xen keeps the memory reserved. If you really want to reclaim it, use:

xm mem-set 0 <the amount you want back>M

No network in windows

Domain does not exist

A vague way of telling you xm create failed to start?

Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'

Debian thing, means install xen-qemu-dm-4.0
