Is there a reason for Xen built and running on 32bit platform not to see RAM larger than 16GB ? I have 32GB box with 32bit kernel built with PAE and only 16GB is available. Do I have to run it in 64bit mode ? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi I think you may need to use the big memory kernel.

Yes, to run Xen with more than 16GB of RAM you will have to move to x86_64.
