Re: [Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows

[Igor Fajcik <igor.fajcik@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
 may i ask you about W2003 on domU ?
i'm experiencing a problem regarding 2GB RAM limit,
it doesn't look as W2003 problem, cause it does not boot with

mem=2048 or more

if there is mem=2047 everything is ok.

thx.
