If you don't start your domU with a 'mem=2G' or similar as a boot parameter then the domU will be unable to increase its memory allocation beyond its initial boot-time allocation. In this case, 'xm list' is lying to you -- it tells you what memory target the tools has asked the domU to aim for, not what the domU is currently using. :-)

That's my guess anyway -- the free memory reported by 'xm info' is definitely the truth, so 'xm list' is lying and that's probably the reason why. Take a look in the domU and see what it thinks. Also in the domU, look at the contents of /proc/xen/balloon.
