Re: [Xen-users] Problem with dom0_mem=6144M

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

I have always used syntax

dom0_mem=6144000

And that works for me.
I have never tried to use the M and not sure what it would do.
The default units are KB.  the only thing that I have seen
that gives you less memory in dom0 than what you expected is if
you make too many domU's and xen takes the memory out of dom0's hide.
