[Xen-devel] Last GB of memory?

["Christopher S. Aker" <caker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why Xen refuses to access the last 
GB of
RAM as of late?  This machine has 6GB of memory, which I expect a little under 
4GB to
be available to Xen for domains, however it's only allowing 3GB.  Same thing
with -testing and -unstable.

 Xen version 3.0-devel (root@xxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat
3.4.3-9.EL4)) Mon May  2 13:18:41 EDT 2005

# xm info
memory                 : 3071  <---- *???*

I don't recall it doing this until recently.   Is this a fact of life until 
PAE, or
is this a bug relating to the fixes for the domain.c BUG I reported earlier 
that Keir
fixed?

Thanks,
-Chris
