We actually have 4 of these IBMs, they come with 24GB memory in 4 sticks. 1 
quad-core CPU.

I tried xen.gz-4.0.1 but it failed the same way.

I tried specifying mem=1024M and to my surprise, it boots.

So for some reason, I went through to find the exact number:

1024 - OK
4096 - NG
2048 - NG
1536 - OK
1664 - NG
1660 - OK
1663 - OK

So, not entirely sure why 1663M boots, but 1664M does not. I have tried to use 
mem=2048M dom0_mem=1024M but that does not boot. It would appear the if the 
hypervisor tries to use more than 1663M it dies.

This is the same on all 4 machines, so we don't think it is a faulty stick. 
(The sticks appear to be 4GB anyway, and 1664M should be well inside one stick)
