Yup 512MB

3.4.1 with 2.6.18 works fine on it. 4.4.1 with 3.0.4 also seems to work
fine, though it does seem to use an awful lot of ram (something I'm
going to have a closer look at shortly). It's just that I get these
error messages in 'xl dmesg', and wondered whether I can safely ignore
them, or whether they're indicative of a more serious problem.
