Hi,

The output of the xm info oes below (you can see only 1GB is visible):
(FYI: to compile I just entered "make world -j4" and that's all - I assume the vanilla kernel i properly patched when you "make world")

Hi,
I've recently started to set up xen on one of my itanium servers. The
domains boot smoothly with only one thing being "salt-in-the-eye:.

I cannot assign  more than about 700MB to all my machines. My node has
2Gb of RAM in total.
I found on mailing lists, that you should enable high memory support in
the kernel's config. This should be located in "Processor type and
features" tab
in "make menuconfig". I cannot find this option for itanium. I tried to
enable the "Virtual mem map" for both domO and domU with no luck.
Can anyone help me with this?
Recent versions of Xen support sparse memory.
Which version are you using ?
What is the result of 'xm info' from dom0 ?

NB: I was able to run Xen on a 48GB machine! Xen recognized all the memory.

Tristan.
