| Doc Text: |
If a guest had 32 GB of operating memory or more, the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) information provided to the guests was incorrect. This was detected by the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) tests required for the Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation Platform (SVVP) certification. With this update, a patch has been provided, and the DMI information provided to the guests with very large operating memory is now correct.

error message
Firmware problem, moving to Xen userspace component. Please attach "dmidecode" output from a Linux guest of the same size. Thanks! Nevermind, not necessary (and I also meant to ask for a KVM guest, not Linux). I built test xen packages at http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=3303721 (In reply to comment #4) > Nevermind, not necessary (and I also meant to ask for a KVM guest, not Linux). > > I built test xen packages at > http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=3303721 With new pkg the 32G and 64G memory can pass the SMBIOS job 96G memory SMBIOS pass also. 96G memory Intel and AMD all pass verify this bug in xen-3.0.3-131.el5 in AMD and INTEL host guest memory is 96G
