KVM the kernel component doesn't manage default RAM size -- QEMU does. You would have the same problems running Windows 7 on a TCG QEMU, because there's only one place we set the default RAM size globally for all boards. This is purely a QEMU issue which we should fix. There's no point increasing our single default RAM size to 256 because that fixes nothing -- it is still too small to be a useful default for many boards. -- PMM
