[Wylug-discuss] Memory limit on Xen domain U

[Dr A V Le Blanc]

Thanks to everyone who came last night.  Just a note: I have this

5gb of memory.  The machine came up without a problem and has 5gb
of memory.  For

I should say that the dom0 kernel, the domU kernel, and the hypervisor
were all compiled with PAE.
