Another thing to add with caf is if you have limited physical memory do you
have enough swap?
IIRC when you set up virtualbox you can configure how much memory to
allocate to each vm if you have over allocated then you will be swapping
like crazy and probably crashing the kernel.

Yeah …I was away working on that…It was that I had created the hard disk images on /root…which didnt have enough space (i had partitioned it that way)…so all i had to do was change was to make the hard disk images on /home…where i had the most memory…
