Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] xm mem-set causes kernel panic
We did run using unstable. We installed sles10 beta11 but we pulled and built 
xen-unstable changeset 9903 from xensource repository.  We have not tried with 
PAE hypervisor.  It is not our focus.  How desperately would you need us to try 
PAE?

Can you repro this on -unstable? What about with a PAE hypervisor?

Thanks,
Ian
