Thread-topic: default dom0 memory size is very large
I am running xen (changeset 9029 on SLES10 beta 6) on x86_64 with 8 procs and 8 
GB memory.  When the system boots, xm list and xentop show that dom0 is given 
almost all of the 8 GB of memory, leaving only 136 MB free. 

Has anyone else encountered this?  Shouldn't the default memory size be small 
to allow the creation of multiple domU's?

Thanks,
