Not sure if this is a Fedora Core 6 issue. I already post a message on their list but didn''t get an answer. So I am going to try here.. Does anyone has Windows Guest OS running successfully with the Dom0 has all the physical memory allocated? If I don''t lower the memory assign to Dom0 through grub, I will not be able to run a Windows Guest OS. This what I got Using config file "/etc/xen/Win2k3R2-01".
