I don't recall but they're reproducable.  Would you like to see them?

I'm starting a business on a shoestring budget so even extra RAM is
expensive.  Domain0 is on a minimal distro -- Debian 3.1r0a base install
with no extra unnecessary packages and all unnecessary services disabled. 
At boot it uses 4MB RAM!

And I was only running a copy of Domain0 in a guest domain when I started
getting memory errors.

Because of that, 128MB seems a bit much for one trimmed-down guest domain.
 Hence the question: what are Xen's domain0 memory requirements?  I don't
see them in the documentation...

Ever lied?  You're a liar.  Ever stolen?  You're a thief.  Ever hated? The
bible equates hate with murder.  Ever lusted?  Jesus equated lust with
adultery.  You've broken God's law.

He'll judge all evil and you're without hope -- unless you have a savior. 
Repent and believe.
