Critical error / Guru Meditation

[Alfredo]

After a couple days of uptime, my guest stopped with a pop up talking about "A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped".

Details:

Code: Select all

00:00:00.645 VirtualBox 2.2.0 r45846 linux.x86 (Apr  7 2009 20:58:54) release log

Guest is WinXP.

At the time the machine crashed I was doing absolutely nothing (was asleep....)

The log is available at http://pastebin.com/m3412e27e

Any ideas? Any help is appreciated! Please let me know if you need more details or other info.

TIA!

Are you trying to run all of your guests at the same time or just one at a time?
VBox 2.2 has somewhat of a memory usage problem and from what I hear is being worked on or has been fixed and will be released at the next upgrade (expected soon). Suggestions have been to reduce the amount of memory you are allocating to the guest/s as low as you can until then.

I have successfully run several VirtualBox guests at the same time. At this time, however, only one guest was running. The guest had 1GB allocated and host has 8GB of real memory.
