Hi, Can someone help. Ive setup xen on a fresh build but are having problems setting up grub. Ive run update-grub which has scanned the /boot folder and created the entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg but im not sure how to add the dom0_mem=512M parameter?

Note: I also pass dom0_max_vcpus=4, on my multi-threaded system but your setup may be different from mine :) -M _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
