MTRR?  That's a different config setting, but it shouldn't matter here.  The 
important setting is the high memory support, which needs to be set to 64GB.

I'm glad it's working for you :-)

Another good way to try Xen out is to install RHEL 5 / CentOS 5, or Fedora, or 
OpenSuse, or SLES - all these integrate at least some support for Xen out of 
the box.  If you want a livecd you could try VMKNOPPIX (this also 
demonstrates other virtualisers, all on a KNOPPIX-based livecd).

Cheers,
Mark
