The last message in the log file before the freeze is: {{{ 00:00:51.020 PGMR3PhysAllocateLargePage: allocating large pages takes too long (last attempt 3960 ms; nr of timeouts 2); DISABLE }}} The host system processors are only utilized some 11-20% while all this is happening. Also, vmstat reports a 7.5GB free list. Attaching to the VM console never results in an updated console window - I get the RDP window, but the contents of it never update. Worse yet... When I attempt to power off the VM using VBoxMange controlvm poweroff, The poweroff hangs before 30%: {{{ $ VBoxManage controlvm sparrow.rd.evalesco.com poweroff 0%...10%...20%... }}} After several minutes, I try to kill the VBoxHeadless process that is hanging. This causes VBoxManage showvminfo to hang for the VM, but the process does not go away. A kill -9 is not effective either. The process lives until I reboot the system.
