VirtualBox - Guru Meditation

Post by Adeel »

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I installed MS Server 2008 R2 on Win XP SP3 Guest with 4GB memory. All was working fine untill today when I reboot the VM and it crashed by saying Virtualbox-Guru Meditation, Low memory for Host machine. VM is allocated 1GB.
Please if anyone could help to get me out of this issue asap. Thanks.

As the error message dialog also probably said, we really need the VM log file before we can comment. Post it as a .zip attachment please. The VM log file is called "VBox.log", and can be found in the "Logs" subfolder of your VM folder.

I can tell you in advance however that you can't (successfully) give a VM more memory than the host has available to it.
