[Xen-users] RE: correction... cannot create 2GB (not 2MB) domU

["Krysan, Susan" <KRYSANS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

        On Unisys 16X 16GB ES7000/one with SLES10 Beta11 updated to xen 
changeset 9998, attempted to create a 2GB domU and get Error: The privileged 
domain did not balloon. xm list shows that before the attempt to create the 
domain, dom0 has 15910 MB memory.  After the error, dom0 has dropped down to 
13993 MB.  

Bugzilla number is 650
