I just download xen-3.3.0 and do: make world;make install. After that, I have configured modules, initramdisk, Grub, has I do in the xen-3.2.0, and yes, I have mercurial and all build-deps installed... I can't see why my domU is showing only 16KB and my dom0 shows 2048KB... I'm just using the Xen defaults for Kernel and Hypervisor.

      I haven't tried Xen 3.3.0, as I stick with the F8 repo Xen since it
is working.  However, have you tried a different kernel?  Perhaps yours
needs recompiled to detect the greater processor cache.  I really don't
know, so I'm not going to say it couldn't be Xen, but I do know that there
are a lot of processor options when you compile a kernel.  What I don't know
is which differences those processor options make.

No one knows about this?!
It's normal for domU in Xen-3.3 to have only 16KB of CPU cache size?

Thanks!

Hi folks!

 After upgrading my Xen-3.2.0 to new Xen-3.3.0/Linux-2.6.18.8-xen-3.3.0 my
domU /proc/cpuinfo shows only:

administrativo@vsrvXX:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

 But before upgrade, it's cache was the same of my dom0, look my dom0

How to give more cpu cache to my domU in new Xen-3.3.0? My domUs are very
slow now!
I do not use HVM, all my Linux domUs are paravirtualized.

Thanks!
Thiago
