Ok, thanks Carlos. So what we see in the guest logs is that the virtual network interface seems to try allocating a 128K receive buffer which fails and that triggers some OOM actions resulting in bad things. If I see this right, there seems to be 439M of memory available (probably set up as 512M and the rest lacking for page tables and so on). Generally virnet is claimed to be able to really have a hard impact on memory (especially if there is any service doing transfers between host and guest) as transport is not limited by any transmission speed. Is there something configured like that. The system can be tweaked a bit by telling it to try having more memory in reserve (/proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes) but I am not sure this is easily implemented for install. Would things improve by just allocating the guests more memory (768M, 1024M)?
