Linux VM Memory Problem

I have a big problem with my Linux VM (Open Suse 10.2).
If i assign more than 512MB virtual memory to the VM, my Linux crashes/hangs during boot.

Does anyone know what's happening and how i can circumvent this?

Sorry, but a Linux VM with only 512MB RAM is totally useless for me.
I need to have at least 1GB of RAM because i need to run the latest Oracle DB Release in this VM. With only 512MB, Oracle 10g2 won't even start.

I want to configure the the following configuration:

Linux VM running Oracle DB, Oracle Application Server, Peoplesoft Internet Architecture.
Windows XP VM running Peoplesoft AppDesigner.

Mac OS X running Oracle JDeveloper.

Configuring the Networking isn't the problem. :)

The other option would be to install everything in my Windows XP VM, but hey, why did i buy a Macbook Pro? :)

Thanks for any hint,
Heribert
 
Found the problem. Solved it. Everything works now
Thanks for the great support.

Waiting for VMWare Fusion.......
 
With Fedora Core 6, the "mem=nopentium" option has no effect on the problem. Adding "agp=off" to the kernel args works, though.

To do this, hit 'e' when the boot screen comes up, then select the kernel you will be booting (if there is more than one), then hit 'a'.

Add " agp=off" to the end of the kernel arguments, then hit enter to boot.

Once Linux boots, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and add " agp=off" to the end of the kernel argumnts there to make the changes permanent.
