Thread-topic: "xm mem-max" problem on PAE xenlinux
I tried this on PAE Xen on a machine with 8GB.

# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0     7964     1 r-----   137.9

Then, simply
# xm mem-max 0 5000
# xm list

Causes:

kernel BUG at arch/xen/i386/mm/hypervisor.c:381 (xen_create_con
tiguous_region)!
