      I'm a bit stumped, after installing 64GB RAM (additional 4x16 sticks) XCP is stuck booting (just after the dom0 message EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled). It boots fine in safe mode, but in safe mode XOA won't start (perhaps by design? error is not enough PCPUS). I don't really know where to start with understanding what might be going on, so far the kern.log and deamon.log don' t show errors. Where should I look?

        @PGibson I wonder if there is enough memory allocated to dom0?

          I'm realizing what is happening. After the memory install the system would not boot up, the bios flags the change and forces you to go through the bios setup with a hardware change. My system runs headless so I did not pick this up. After plugging a monitor in I see that message, go into bios and then through the boot sequence. This is when I notice that the system "hangs" after that statement. What I just realized is that xo lite was responding (along with pings) while the system was hung. I pass the GPU to a VM, so once dom0 gets to a certain point the GPU goes away, leaving the monitor stuck, but the system boots just fine.
