Hi, After some tests with VNUML tool, I experimented some problems when using memory sizes of 256M or bigger.
Basically when I start a virtual machine assigning it 255M (with mem=255M line option) everything works, but when using 256M or more, the virtual machines hangs during startup after showing "Mounted devfs on /dev" message. These are the normal startup messages: ... Console initialized on /dev/tty0 Initializing software serial port version 1 /dev/ubd/disc0: unknown partition table VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Mounted devfs on /dev line_ioctl: tty0: ioctl KDSIGACCEPT called INIT: version 2.84 booting Activating swap. Checking root file system... fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) .... I have made some tests directly with uml using Debian-3.0r0.ext2 rootfilesystem (VNUML root_fs are derived from it) and a 2.6.12.3 guest kernel: > linux mem=233M ubd0=Debian-3.0r0.ext2 root=/dev/ubd/0 And the behaviour is the same. However the limit in this case is 233M. Any idea or hint about where the problem could be located?
