I haven't tried that, but I will tonight when I get home.  I'm expecting
the non-xen kernel to see all the RAM.

It could be, but even if it was, it wouldn't be much.  I'm running the
dom0 on a real server, and the embedded graphics controller is very
simple.  At most, it's probably using 8 MB if it doesn't have it's own
dedicated memory.

I'm fairly certain the real problem is a bug in Fedora Core 6's xen
kernel.  When I upgraded to the lastest kernel version, the kernel
picked up more of the RAM.  There's still about 256 missing, but it's
better than the 512 MB that was missing with the older xen kernel.
