0x10000000 != 8G so maybe that's not the right parameter name, but I
thought so.
I know, but that's what it shows.
I have attached the complete dmesg for a better reference. This one is after I changed from "mem=8G" to "mem=8192M".

If that doesn't help then I'm afraid I'm all out of ideas.

Perhaps experiment with upgrading the dom0 to e.g. the Wheezy hypervisor
+ kernel and/or the Wheezy dom0 kernel and see if that helps.
I have another box, upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy. It uses xen-4.1-amd64 and kernel 3.2.0-2-amd64. The DomUs there are Squeeze yet, but I guess some can use Dom0's 3.2 kernel, after installing the corresponding modules tree. I'll test tonight and give feedback.

Thank you.
