As to why the memory allocation fails I have no immediate insights. Maybe you genuinely don't have enough contiguous pages below 4GB boundary... Perhaps you can add a printf in src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/freebsd/memobj-r0drv-freebsd.c right after the vm_phys_alloc_contig() call to examine/validate its input parameters and return value. > and although kldstat shows the module as loaded, and the control panel > starts, when I try to launch a vm I get this: It's a long standing general FreeBSD issue that there is a disconnect between module loading and module initialization errors. > Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) > Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully. -- Andriy Gapon
