When adding dom0_mem=2G to the boot line, the system boots OK.

I expect it will work ok with everything up to and including
dom0_mem=32G?

It does.

It depends a bit on your usecase but it is often best recommended to use
dom0_mem= anyway, since you are most often going to balloon dom0 down
significantly anyway to make room for guest domains.

I agree and I was planning to use the dom0_mem parameter. But I did expect the system to actually boot. Maybe it should be mentioned somewhere that the dom0_mem _must_ be set on systems with >32GB memory?

Regards,

Rik
