A little context (from IRC discussion on Friday) - this was only recently identified to fix videoram set to -1 on PVH: /local/domain/22/memory/static-max =3D "819200" (n0,r22) /local/domain/22/memory/target =3D "819201" (n0,r22) /local/domain/22/memory/videoram =3D "-1" (n0,r22) And since target =3D static-max - videoram, a guest started with mem=3Dmaxmem doesn't really have them equal. --=20 Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-G=C3=B3recki Invisible Things Lab --OJ6h1k6N1cxxusss Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEhrpukzGPukRmQqkK24/THMrX1ywFAmJK+9IACgkQ24/THMrX 1yzbYgf+NQ1rRT1SjBzSQxOYFSKetTg6OIVJGdMFrKnY8JiOQNR+CeirSyDSk3Bs ODjB0zoseZVexCG/Jgw4BQTOJMQwUHed2qmUXYcDtn/lcjJPM4AlnrRHw6+Jzpy2 MIguWaK/ceZvI4HG6PB2wvnJz6GOhwQQjd0/SEnyJTMBvv3RStwWQie7YoIZ8aCZ DAClhn5xRekSrcG/arj5IQtHErFR+bD9C6TSSZK8+3rKJVeyoeXIRN9Ft2T2VHuZ jZbaO62/HQWrpQ+n5abFkkmZq1Aod6xvLTwrUDfJ104ar2Ig66CeyULd55Wiv1BS JHjNWKxiXW/4L7wB1icBsccqryglUw== =W3pE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OJ6h1k6N1cxxusss--
