Description of problem: I booted the Fedora Core 6 dom0 after upgrading the server's RAM to 3 GB (from 1 GB). I used "free" to check how much RAM was available, and found that of the 3 GB of RAM, about 256 MB were missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 2. Boot the machine 3. Use free to see how much RAM is available Actual results: [root@xenmaster ~]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2716672 234060 2482612 0 16988 66076 -/+ buffers/cache: 150996 2565676 Swap: 524280 0 524280 Expected results: Mem: 3145728 Additional info: - Dell PowerEdge 1600SC - Running latest BIOS and firmware for all components - Fedora Core 6 dom0, all updates applied dmesg shows this: Memory: 2874636k/2987900k available (2135k kernel code, 104060k reserved, 1130k data, 176k init, 2242436k highmem)

Fedora Core 6 is now end-of-life, so closing this bug out. Please test again with Fedora 7 or later, and open a new bug if your problem persists. Thanks.
