Could you send the serial output for the kernel panic?

 

Thanks,

Xen can only see 16GB of memory in PAE mode. So the greatest amount of memory you can assign to guest is a little less than 16GB ? dom0_mem.

Hi,

 

I have buit Xen (32 bit) with PAE and can start multiple Paraguests with 4 gig memory, but cannot launch a single VM with more than 4 gb memory. I would like to launch 1 VM with 30GB or so memory. Are there any config paramters like kernel,/inittrd that need to be changed.

 

I have the ramdisk set to the initrd I used to boot xen with PAE.

 

Thanks

- padma
