Hello,
I just installed Wheezy on my laptop using debootstrap to test Xen
advancements from Squeeze. Everything seems to be working great, except
the memory is reported incorrectly under the Xen enabled OS. Normal boot
reports correct memory. Included below are the details I think are
pertinent, if you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks for your help with this.
Shane
