i did manage to work around it by adding the modprobe lines in the xend init script (see the bz link above), plus i had to build a new initrd with the xenblk module in order to boot my ubuntu domU:
mkinitrd --preload=xenblk /boot/initrd.img `uname -r`
now it seems to be working fine, i have access to 6gb ram and everything starts as it should.

i will as soon as i cobble together another test box with that much ram, hopefully later this week. this particular box goes into production on monday so i pulled two of the ram sticks out and am just using 4gb with the xen0 kernel. thanks for the help - jason

that's what i tried already (reread my original post). but xend doesn't start properly when booting kernel-xen (it starts fine with kernel-xen0). thanks for answering my question, the next problem is to figure out why xend isn't happy with that particular kernel.
unfortunately circumstances beyond my control have forced me to put this box in production my monday am so i can't troubleshoot things at this time. hopefully i can scrounge up a similar box w/ 6gb ram so i can work this out.

is there an "official" xen0 kernel for fc5 that includes pae support? i have a 32bit system w/ 6gb ram that works fine with kernel-xen0-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 (from yum) although it only sees 4gb. i installed kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 which says it was built with pae, it sees the full 6gb but fails to bring up the bridge devices when xend starts. if anyone can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it.--
