You probably need to increase the amount of allowed wired mappings in the kernel. You can set it to unlimited with the following: # sysctl -w vm.max_wired=-1 Or if you want to make it permanent: # echo 'vm.max_wired=-1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf This is because the Xen tools make extensive use of wired memory in order to interact with the hypervisor.
