Hi,

I'm testing 2.6.27-rc1 and seem to have an issue when booting the domU
with >4096MB.

Xen: 3.2.1 x86_64 2.6.18.8 xen.org kernel
domU: 2.6.27-rc1 32bit PAE

Linux testing 2.6.27-rc1-xenU #2 SMP Thu Jul 31 22:57:42 EDT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

(Minimal) Config: http://radium.outervoid.net/~carl/2.6.27-rc1

I see the same when using .26. Am I perhaps missing an option somewhere?
The config has all the obvious things (namely, HIGHMEM64G).

Hm, it does look like something is truncating at 4G and wrapping. The question is whether the system really only has 2G available to it, or if it's just mis-reporting.

Can you post the full boot log, and the contents of /proc/meminfo?

Thanks,
   J
