Problem creating VM's. cloudmin not recognizing ram available

I am having a problem using cloudmin to create new VM's. Basically, cloudmin is not recognizing the amount of RAM available on the host.

Under 'Create Xen instance' > 'Xen hosting system', it only shows between 267M-448M available, even though each system has between 16G-32G.

It appears to be a UI issue, in that I have found a few was to work around.

the long way - to create VM with 2G ram, I had to create and destroy (5) 440M machines. After destroying, it would then show I had 2+ G available to allocate

quick way - clone an existing machine. 'Xen Hosting system' only shows 330M available, but system is able to clone a 2G machine.

easiest - have an existing machine. copy the files in and point at it.

The problem also surfaces when trying to allocate additional ram to a host. The work around for this, was to shut the machine down, edit the config file by hand, and restart the VM

(4) Host system (2) 32G ram (2) 16G ram

Fresh Install(s): Debian lenny 5.06 x86_64

This looks like a bug. I'd recommend opening a bug in the ticket tracker, so Jamie can work with you on figuring out why it's happening, and hopefully get it resolved in the next version of Cloudmin.
