Hello, I am new to this debian forum and this is my first topic in seeking help. I started out with debian in 2005 and I love it.
I installed xen again after like 10+ years, and I must say it is quite the trouble to get it running. I stumbled on quite some issues that had to be adressed, it is not ready to use out of the box.
Now I am really stuck with the error: "Error starting domain: operatie mislukte: Failed to balloon domain0 memory"
This is the error which I get from the virt-manager gui when creating a xen guest and/or starting a xen guest (which was premade on another machine)
I can work arround this by setting Domain-0 memory myself like this: xl mem-set Domain-0 52048 (I have 64GB in total)
But I would like it to work in order to have it set the memory by itself.
Now what I tried so far is having set autoballoon=1 and also autoballoon=0 and also left it out in /etc/xen/xl.conf, though neither of those configs changed anything, I still get the error.
I also checked for the module xen-balloon but it found none even though it uses the same xen-balloon for resizing with xl mem-set and that works
sudo modprobe xen-balloon
modprobe: FATAL: Module xen-balloon not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.0-26-amd64
And after of days searching through the internet and asking chatgpt I came up with nothing more to add to my solution, I am kinda stuck and would appreciate any help.
Some additional info which I guess would be helpfull;
OS: Debian 12 fully up2date
CPU: Dual xeon E5 2450
RAM: DDR3 64GB
