Ok. I'll try that later.. I'll be away for 1,5 weeks (going to a vacation),
so can't try right now.
One difference just came to my mind.. when booted on baremetal, whole 2G of
ram is available.. when booted as dom0 I've limited dom0 memory to 1G.
I guess I should try with the same amount of memory available for both
dom0 and baremetal.
