What kernel would I use if I wanted to use Xen on a server with more then

Can the Xen kernel handle this?


Yes, it can.

Prior to 64-bit release of Xen hypervisor (that is, before the summer of
2007), the 32bit-PAE version of Xen allowed the use of up to 16GB of memory.

You can leverage up to 128GB of memory with a current 64-bit Xen modified
GNU/Linux kernel.

Hope the info is useful.
