That's very likely. I indeed use the 2.6.18-4-xen kernel. > Perhaps the documentation should state something along the lines of "if > you have a PAE-enabled *kernel* (whether or not your system has or > supports more than 4 GB RAM), then you need the pae-hypervisor". > Alternatively, if PAE-enabled is now the default for Debian stock > kernels, then perhaps the default Xen packages should be PAE-enabled and > then there could be variants which are suffixed non-pae for people who > roll their own non-PAE kernels. I saw that the xen-linux-system packages already depends on the PAE hypervisor, but I always make it a habit to read over the dependencies of a package before installing. That's when I read the 4Gb RAM remark and decided to install xen-utils and xen-hypervisor (the non-PAE version) separately instead. -- Sander Marechal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
