What you are trying to do will work, but not for large amounts of memory. UML runs the client using a single user mode memory block as the entire client's core. Thus the clients core size is limited to what a single task can allocate as plain memory.

It should be possible to work around this using the kernel HIGHMEM support. Would also be a good environment to verify the HIGHMEM support in the kernel in general.


In HIGHMEM mode the kernel doen't have the whole physical RAM mapped in it's address space, remapping memory as required. This doesn't increase the per-process limitations, but allows for the total sum or processes + kernel memory to be much greater.
