I have 4 procs with 16G RAM and no mem paramters in grub at all, and it looks like this: Linux h 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen #1 SMP Mon Aug 13 10:11:56 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 852 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 852 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 852 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 852 # grep Total /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 13335552 kB SwapTotal: 5261240 kB VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB # xm info |grep total total_memory : 16319 I have 3 domU's running with each allocated 1G, so 16-3=13 which I suppose explains the MemTotal line above from the perspective of dom0.

Either way, thanks, now I at least know that it should work and I can try to determine why it isn't. As for the MemTotal, you are correct on why it is 13 instead of 16. However, if you shut down one of those domU's, the memory wouldn't necessarily be automatically re-assigned to dom0, and /proc/meminfo is based on what is assigned to dom0. I think "xm info" would be the correct way to see the detected memory in the system once domU's are created or if dom0 isn't assigned all memory. There may be other ways.

Also, can you show me the appropriate portion of your grub.conf? I would like to see if maybe it is different than mine even though they are both pre-packaged installs. I had a machine with 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen, so I copied that to the machine in question, and it also only shows 3.1GiB for me. I compared the config files for that kernel and the one I was using, and they are identical (minus version and date comment lines), so that was as I expected, but it makes it less likely that my problem is a version problem and more likely that something else is haywire.
