"QEMU or Android Emulator will fail to launch if the guest RAM size (specified with the -m option for QEMU or -memory for Android Emulator) exceeds 4095MB." HAX is limited to a 32 bit memory size. There is no way to change that without breaking compatibility. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723488 Title: HAX on Windows, memory lease error Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Today I tried to use QEMU on Windows 8.1 x64 with Intel HAX. Command line: qemu-system-x86_64.exe -accel hax -m 8000 -hda /opt/disk/ubuntu.img -cdrom /opt/iso/ubuntu-17.04-server-amd64.iso Host machine has 32Gb physical memory, I got error: HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. ** ERROR:A:/msys64/home/admin/git/qemu/target/i386/hax-mem.c:210:hax_process_section: assertion failed: (size <= UINT32_MAX) When using -m 4000 (and below) everything is fine. But if I try use >4000 and <8000 I get crash with errors: HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. hax_transaction_commit: Failed mapping @0x0000000100000000+0x78800000 flags 00 VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request VCPU shutdown request To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1723488/+subscriptions
