Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu
Qemu seems to be limited to < 2Gb RAM. This may seem like a lot but we need to run Oracle DBMS + Bea Weblogic 10 on Windows XP (in a VM) and they need more than 2Gb. Unfortunately VMWare is no help because of another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware- server/+bug/174098). qemu -m 2048 -boot c xp.image -> qemu gives me a usage screen qemu -m 2047 -boot c xp.image -> "Could not allocate physical memory" qemu -m 2000 -boot c xp.image -> qemu starts fine The same happens when I use `kvm` instead of `qemu`. We (Ubuntu) are note alone in this: http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=12927 Ubuntu Gutsy amd64 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Qemu 0.9.0-2ubuntu4 ** Affects: kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- VM with 2048MB crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198380 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
