l4linux: l4x_setup_memory:Cant get main memory

[Leslie Zhai]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your hint!

 > Hm, tried adding more memory to the VM?

Perhaps other users might experienced the same issue:


L4x: Main thread running, waiting...
L4x: Memory size: 64MB
L4x: Setting superpages for main memory
l4x_setup_memory: Can't get main memory of 65536kiB! Please try to add 
more memory to the VM.
MOE[mem_alloc]: quota: limit=-1 Byte, used=9646080 Byte
MOE[mem_alloc]: global: avail=52121376 Byte
MOE[mem_alloc]: free list (start address/size):
MOE[mem_alloc]:    0x210e0 -    0x213ff (800 Byte)
MOE[mem_alloc]:   0x273400 -   0x273fff (3 kB)
MOE[mem_alloc]:   0x370000 -   0x3fffff (576 kB)
MOE[mem_alloc]:   0xba6000 -  0x18aafff (13 MB)
MOE[mem_alloc]:  0x541a000 -  0x7838fff (36 MB)
Terminating L4Linux.


so I simply added "Please try to add more memory to the VM."

then users might realized that using qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024M to 
launch L4Linux-mag-x86, and L4Linux is able to run happily :)
