running VirtualBox on Genode

Wed Jul 29 08:44:39 CEST 2015

Hi thanks!

I seem to have found the problem. Now, I would like to run some other
(larger) OS on Virtualbox, instead of the Tiny Core Linux, which was
previously suggested that I run. However, how should I go about doing this,
because if I simply swap the test.iso file to a bigger file, I would get an
error

>> "Want to load module to 0xbe9000 len 0x3e400000 but only have 0x27ffe000
RAM"

I inspected the virtualbox.run file, and experimented with changing some of
the quantum values, but to no avail. What should I do here?
