Re: [Xen-users] xen 3.0 testing ACPI problems / no PCI functionality

[Patrick <patrick_@xxxxxxxxxx>]

First of all .. as I said ACPI was the reason why my mashine was 
constantly rebooting as - if ACPI enabled - xen does did not detect the 
amount of RAM properly and thus is always claiming it wasnt enough.
Sencondly, the xen kernel config is not that much different to mine .. 
my kernel is just more lightweight tho.
...
ACPI isnt the main problem, could you please also refer to the second 
problem, which is of much more importance to me?
best regards,
Patrick
