Hello

Hi,

I've just added 2Gb of RAM on my Xen Host but this one think always it have 1G ...
I can't start VM. It tell me that dom0_min_mem is 196 and shrinking ...

What is the procedure to force Xen to reconize this memory ?
It's very strange because  a  #xm list  returns  3gb for dom0

I had the same problem with a linux dom0, that seems to be related to the memory split option in the linux kernel (processor type and features -> memory split), I've set it to "1G/3G user/kernel split" (it was "3G/1G user/kernel split") and all works fine.

after more research, I had just forgotten to set the "High Memory Support"
option to 4GB (it was set to off) in the linux kernel, maybe you too ? ;-)
