Description (last modified by frank) (diff)

Mac OSX (10.6.7) freezes when I try to start my Windows 7 guest while my Ubuntu guest is running. The system freezes when "Starting Windows" appears. The only resolution is to press and hold power button to shutdown and restart.

I think it had to do with lack of RAM. I had only 4G of RAM, 2G was in use by one of the VMs on top of that used by the host. My Windows VM required 2G. After I upgraded my system to 16GB of RAM, the problem went away.
