Virtual Box Kernel Error

After installing Sun Microsystems Virtual Box and Ubuntu Server 8.0.1 and you get a kernel error like this:


... don't panic, just go into your virtual server settings (General > Advanced Tab) and enable the Physical Address Extension (PAE) of the host CPU.


Ubuntu server should start-up normally after that.

Host Virtual Server RAM Upgraded to 4GB


Since we decided to test the cluster technology of MySQL on a Virtual Box, we've upgraded the DDR2 RAM from 1GB to 4GB on our test server. That only involved a total investment cost of RM320 as opposed to RM2,000 initially budgeted for this R&D project. Saweet!
