Virtual Box crashes when installing Oracle Database 11.02.03

[Snoop]

I am running Virtual Box 4.3.6r91406, on Solaris 11.1 . The hardware is Dell Poweredge 1950 x86, and it has 24571 Megabytes Memory. The Virtual Box extension is installed. The Virtual Machine is Solaris 11.1, it has Guest additions, and I have on 70 Gig Virtual Hard drive. The Guest Memory is 12000 MB.

When I try to install Oracle Database 11.02.03 the Virtual Machine stops during the Installation Phase with "Virtual Box -- Guru Mediation" I was using the database "runInstaller" program to install Oracle The error message on the VBox.log file was Guru Meditation -2701 (VERR_VMM_RING0_ASSERTION)

I posted this as a question on the forum, and it was suggested I try 8 Gigs of Memory

Results: 12000 MB Memory -- Virtual Machine crashes

8192 MB Memory -- Installation program hangs

9216 MB Memory -- Oracle Database installs without error

Why? Oh the log file was too big to load on the forum, so I split it in three parts and compressed each part seperately

This assertion is triggered because there is not enough memory reserved in the hypervisor. Please try the following setting:

VBoxManage setextradata VM_NAME "VBoxInternal/MM/CanUseLargerHeap" 1

and try the installation again.

I tried the command mentioned above on 2/7/2014 and then was able to install Oracle Database 11.02.03 successfully. Its now been running for 2 days without crashing.
