Start a new FAQ document with questions we're often being asked on
support channels.  We'll expand this list over time, and as the number
of questions grow, we'll organize them as appropriate.

+Here are some frequently asked questions about the ACRN project.

+------
+
+What hardware does ACRN support?
+********************************
+
+ACRN runs on Intel Apollo Lake and Kaby Lake boards, as documented in
+our :ref:`hardware` documentation.
+
+Clear Linux* fails to boot on my NUC
+************************************
+
+If you're following the :ref:`getting_started` documentation and the NUC
+fails to boot, here are some options to try:
+
+* Upgrade your platform to the latest BIOS
+* Verify Secure Boot is disabled in the BIOS settings:
+
+  - Depending on your platform, press for example, :kbd:`F2` while
+    booting to enter the BIOS options menu, and verify "Secure Boot" is
+    not checked in the "Boot Options"
+* Make sure you are using EFI (and not legacy BIOS)
+
+How do I configure ACRN's memory use?
+*************************************
+
+It's important that the ACRN Kconfig settings are aligned with the physical memory
+on your platform. Check the documentation for these option settings for
+details:
+
+* :option:`CONFIG_PLATFORM_RAM_SIZE`
+* :option:`CONFIG_SOS_RAM_SIZE`
+* :option:`CONFIG_UOS_RAM_SIZE`
+* :option:`CONFIG_HV_RAM_SIZE`
+
+For example, if memory is 32G, setup ``PLATFORM_RAM_SIZE`` = 32G
+
+::
+
+  config PLATFORM_RAM_SIZE
+        hex "Size of the physical platform RAM"
+        default 0x200000000 if PLATFORM_SBL
+        default 0x800000000 if PLATFORM_UEFI
+
+Setup ``SOS_RAM_SIZE`` = 32G too (The SOS will have the whole resource)
+
+::
+
+  config SOS_RAM_SIZE
+        hex "Size of the vm0 (SOS) RAM"
+        default 0x200000000 if PLATFORM_SBL
+        default 0x800000000 if PLATFORM_UEFI
+
+Setup ``UOS_RAM_SIZE`` to what you need, for example,  16G
+
+::
+
+  config UOS_RAM_SIZE
+        hex "Size of the User OS (UOS) RAM"
+        default 0x100000000 if PLATFORM_SBL
+        default 0x400000000 if PLATFORM_UEFI
+
+Setup ``HV_RAM_SIZE`` (we will reserve memory for guest EPT paging
+table), if you setup 32G (default 16G), you must enlarge it with
+(32G-16G)/2M pages (where pages are 4K). The example below is after
+HV_RAM_SIZE is changed to 240M
+
+::
+
+  config HV_RAM_SIZE
+    hex "Size of the RAM region used by the hypervisor"
+    default 0x07800000 if PLATFORM_SBL
+    default 0x0f000000 if PLATFORM_UEFI
