2G not being enough is pretty excessive. I never had such problems on x86. Only recently (a year ago or so) I started using 2G for guests, 1G used to be enough even for network installs. I suspect a big factor here is CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y. Raspberry pi 3, with standard fedora kernel (64k pages), minimal install (@core), booted to the shell prompt. "free" reports ~122MB of memory as used. Same with a self-compiled kernel (4k pages), I get ~44MB of used memory. That is almost factor three! cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
