[Barrelfish-users] ERROR: frame_alloc failed under VirtualBox

[Georgios Varisteas]

Hi,

First of all congrats on the new release. However, while migrating I have encountered some problems. Till now I had been using VirtualBox for my test runs. I have attached the machine file. Booting the new release on this virtual-machine fails with the following error:

ERROR: skb.0 in sbrk() ../lib/posixcompat/sbrk.c:50
ERROR: frame_alloc failed
Failure: (  libbarrelfish) Ram alloc failed due to constraints to mem_serv [LIB_ERR_RAM_ALLOC_MS_CONSTRAINTS]
Failure: (          libmm) No matching node found [MM_ERR_NOT_FOUND]
Cannot allocate stack space in alloc_stack_pairs()

Qemu on the other hand boots fine. Since I depend on VirtualBox's functionality, which is not easily provided by either Qemu or VMware, does anyone have any hint as to where to start looking in order to solve this issue? I have been hesitant in diving into the source myself before asking, but I can certainly do it if I have to.

Best regards,
Georgios Varisteas
