Host allocates more RAM than allowed and crashes — at Initial Version
| Reported by: | Roland Muell | Owned by: | |

Description
the guest owns 2 gb RAM and the host is free to allocate 768MB of this. When I start ressource intensive operations on the guest, after a wgile all the RAM of the host is allocated. If there is no more free RAM available, the guest operation crashes. This phenomenon is reproducable, especially with different installer files. For example, it appeared with the Adobe Reader Installer or the Windows XP Service Pack 3. First i thought, that the RAM-Module is damaged, but the after exchanging them from the old 2GB memory to new damage-free 4GB the same situation appeared after a while.
In the loggs there are the coresponding lines: .... 00:03:33.373 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=0 CmdIf0=0xca (9532623 usec ago) CmdIf1=0x00 (-1 usec ago) 00:03:33.526 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.537 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.547 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.557 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.567 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.577 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.587 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.598 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.609 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.619 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.630 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.640 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.653 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.664 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:33.675 PIIX3 ATA: Async I/O thread probably stuck in operation, interrupting 00:03:35.599 PIIX3 ATA: execution time for ATA command 0xca was 11 seconds 00:03:35.599 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: finished processing RESET ....
