Yes, this server does have UEFI enabled (ASUS M5A97 r2.0 motherboard) --
and I couldn't find any way to turn it off.

The "no-real-mode" workaround suggested in a web forum discussion had no
effect for me.

What *did* fix the problem, though, was my upgrading the server from
Ubuntu 12.10 to the new 13.04 (final beta).  The new Ubuntu includes
Xen 4.2.1; the output from "xl dmesg" includes a "Multiboot-e820 RAM
map"; and I am now able to see all the RAM installed in the box.

Thanks for the assistance.
