I think I now may have pinpointed an issue with the virtual x86 Setup Memory size is capped out in webkit based browsers (e.g. all Apple mobile iOS browsers and Safari browser on the Mac desktop but not Chromium browser on Mac desktop). With all of the webkit based browsers I can only consistently set the Setup Memory size on the virtual machine to 256 MB-- any higher and the virtual machine will either not boot up fully or will crash when first starting. However, if I use a non webkit based browser (e.g. Chrome using Chromium on my Mac desktop), I'm able to set the Setup Memory size to a much higher more useful amount (e.g. 1024 MB) and boot and run the virtual machine without problems. Example distro I have been using is Damn Small Linux (using latest release candidate .iso from Damn Small Linux website).
Can anyone else reproduced this problem when using webkit based browsers like Safari? If so, I'm not sure why webkit has such a memory cap or what can do about extending that memory cap.
Thanks for checking. :-
