[Barrelfish-users] [Barrelfish] ERROR: frame_alloc failed under VirtualBox

[Georgios Varisteas]

Thanks for the quick reply. I must admit I feel silly since it was the most obvious thing. I didn't notice that Qemu is also using more RAM in the new release.

Best regards,
Georgios Varisteas

Hi Georgios,

It looks like you're simply running out of RAM. Try giving more RAM to
the VirtualBox instance.

Hope this helps,
Simon

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.
