Jeff,

I input "xm mem-set 0 16" and then dom0 hang. The serial output is: ############################################### (XEN) microcode: No new microcode data for CPU1 (XEN) microcode: No new microcode data for CPU2 IA-32 Microcode Update Driver v1.14-xen unregistered NET: Registered protocol family 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes... ###############################################

It's possible that administrator wants to "xm mem-set 0 160" but actually input "xm mem-set 0 16", and then dom0 hangs. Any method to avoid it?
