RE: [Xen-users] Why my system only use 3.3G memory ?


I think it's maybe a bug, because if Xen 2.0 has 4G memory limit, even my Dell 2850 server has 6G memory , Xen 2.0 would use 4G memory on it, but it's just use 3327MB memory.

I have another server Dell 2650 with 4G memory dual Xeon 3.0G CPU, had install Redhat 9.0 and Xen 2.0, it's not have any problem, i has running 8 virtual server on it.

Here is my Dell2650 XenLinux system info.
