Re: [Xen-devel] compiling a non-pae dom0 on a dell r710 with too much ram

[Mike Sun <msun@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's based off the 2.6.18.8 kernel.  Reason I can't have PAE is
because I had written some code a while back that touched shadow page
table stuff and I made changes assuming PAE wasn't being used.  I
don't think my code will work with PAE turned on.
