Dear Pasi,

I am still using Xen 4.4-unstable. I have tried memory=1024 for both 
Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 HVM domU but both of them couldn't start. I 
have also tried memory=1024 for Windows 7 HVM, and although it could 
start, I still get error code 43 and 16 colors on the monitor only.

I have tried Xen 4.3.0 as well but with Windows 7 HVM domU, I still get 
error code 43 and 16 colors on the monitor.

Please advise.

Thank you very much.
