VERR_NO_PAGE_MEMORY

Post by corcom »

My VMs are failing with a "no page memory" error. For example:

Code: Select all

emR3Debug: rc=VERR_NO_PAGE_MEMORY

...

VCPU3: Guru Meditation -27 (VERR_NO_PAGE_MEMORY)
What does this mean and how do I address it? Windows has a page file.

Start the guest from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

I tried a new VM, booting from an Ubuntu Live ISO. I get the same result - it closes without warning and produces that error in the log.

I'm attaching the log, here.

I have the same problem, I updated some parameters of memory but the issue continues.

the message in the log is:

******

It is a oracle SBC machine, dowloaded directly from Oracle. I already set my VIRTUAL MEMORY -> Paging file size = 24GB. (Windows 10)

Thanks.
