Description (last modified by )
Hello everybody,
here is my host : ubuntu server 10.04LTS AMD64 - 1 XEONL5520 -MB SUPERMICRO X8ST3-F - 18GB of RAM)
I run virtualbox 4.04
From time to time, i've got a "page allocation failure". I use bonding in my network.
Is there a solution or a patch ?
Thanks in advance.
Chris.

I have 4 virtual machines running. I haven't noticed anything suspicious in the logs, nevertheless I included them below as m<num>.log.
When I have over 1GB RAM free then, despite of this error, everything seems to be running fine. (This is how I now operate)
I used to run 6 VMs 2 months ago (0.4GB RAM free) and then after such error I would get system freeze that required turning off the power.
I suspect it might be some kind of memory management fault in the kernel (?).

For all those logs to make sense I would have to clean them all, run all those machines and wait for an error.
But the problem is that it occurs randomly. I work on them and waiting for a total freeze while I won't be there to restart it is rather not possible now...

I have the same problem, using RHEL6 host, VirtualBox 4.1.2, and WindowsXP guest. The call trace is different each time, but the top of the call trace is identical:

Hello
Host: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS AMD64 (kernel: 2.6.32-29-generic) - Core i3 530 - 6GB RAM
VirtualBox 4.0.4
Error: page allocation failure. order:9, mode:0x344d2
Same top and bottom of the call trace as in the case reported by cbarthes35.
I keep getting this error at random times.
Inner part of the call trace varies from case to case.
Example log below:
