[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#414471: xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae: small bug in package description

[Sander Marechal]

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae
Version: 3.0.3-0-2
Severity: minor


The package description reads:

  This version of the hypervisor is built with PAE enabled, in order to
  support systems with more than 4GB of memory.  If you have less than 
  that you should probably choose the non -pae version.

That's not entirely true. I tried installing the non-pae version on my 
ProLiant server. The server supports up to 24 Gb RAM but only 1 Gb is 
actually installed. The non-pae version does not run and complains that 
the OS cannot be setup as dom0.

I think the package description should be amended so it clearly states 
that the -pae version is needed if the system *supports* more than 4Gb RAM.

Kind regards,
