Thanks for your assistance. Tried it, but still makes no difference.

What's stopped me dead in my tracks is that Xen appears to grab most of my 6GB of memory - well, *something does* - leaving only 1GB for me to run my desktop on. Very slow and painful to use. (It would be ideal to run this on a test server, but nothing is available.) First, do I understand correctly that "dom0" is just the host system? In other words, when I boot the Xen kernel, that's dom0, yes? Here's what I've tried up to this point. Edited /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=2G,max:2G" also tried GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=512M,max:512M" ... followed by update-grub command. Edited /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp -------------------------------------- xend-config.sxp:(dom0-min-mem 2048) (enable-dom0-ballooning no) All mods followed by reboots, of course. None seems to make any difference. The performance monitor application and "free" command show just under 1GB available when booted under the Xen kernel, 6BG when booted under normal Ubuntu. Xen reports the proper memory stats: # xe host-list params=all | grep memory memory-overhead ( RO): 83017728 memory-total ( RO): 6372888576 memory-free ( RO): 5120520192 memory-free-computed ( RO): <expensive field> Have I missed some basic concept somewhere? Anyone have similar problems?
