Can you give some example, please? Those systems without PAE I know are i586 class. Xen still requires i686 class. > I'd like to keep these supported if it doesn't cost us too
much.
The main reason for removing non-PAE support is the fact that 4GB RAMare not really much in the virtualization world. Most Xen developers/users on xen-devel/xen-users have machines with 8 and 16GB RAM.
