Are you sure you're not overcommitting (e.g. you have 2GB free RAM and
try to launch a VM that is defined with 4GB RAM). In theory, that
should be OK, so this is just curiosity on my part. I haven't had
time to follow posts to this group closely because of work.
I've never had a problem like that appear in a VM personally, but I
also don't overcommit the resources on them either, that tends to
cause issues, IME.
