Host Memory Low — at Version 1

Reported by: rasta Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 2.2.0
Keywords: host memory low Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Windows

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

HOST:

  • WinXPsp3 32-bit with VT (dual quad-core E5345 processors)
  • 4 GB RAM
  • NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 video card, 256 MB VRAM
  • ACPI, IO APIC, VT-x enabled

GUEST:

  • Solaris 10 u5 x86
  • 32- and 64-bit
  • 1524 MB RAM allocated
  • 128 MB VRAM

When running a process in the Solaris guest that worked under Vbox 2.1.4, the guest pauses with this error:

Error ID: HostMemoryLow
Severity: Non-fatal Error

The guest cannot be resumed, and must be powered off. Log file made after brutal power off is attached.

This error happens if the guest is run as 32- or 64-bit. Allocating several hundred more MB of RAM to the guest did not help.

Summary: Host Memory Low errors stops Solaris 10 guest : Vbox 2.2Host Memory Low

Try to reduce the amount of memory allocated to that VM. It seems that VBox 2.2 on Windows / x86 has some problems allocating suitable memory pages for the guest.
