For x86, the minimum memory requirement is 256Mb; not sure abuot s390x. Pete ? We increased the memory to 256Mb and ramdisk_size to 64Mb as per RedHat support because anaconda failed to continue the install process. Then we lowered it to 64Mb after a sucessfull install just like other Linux distributions. We have no problem raising the memory size if we know the minimum. - Emil There's a LOT of pressure to run with very small VM guest storage sizes from clients who run "farms" of little VM guests. The final official cutoff number is not set yet. Personally, I do not think it's reasonable to set such numer. It is load dependent. I can run a somewhat useable client on 24MB in 31 bit mode. But it's almost never reasonable to go that low. Emil needs serious front-line help with the sizing and failure analysis for the hang. Bugzilla is not appropriate for this though. Who is BoA's TAM? He needs to do something here. I am taking the bug, because there may be a bug after all. Impossible to tell now from the report, but I won't be surprised if something fishy turns up with order-2 allocations, for instance... I'm new to RedHat. What is "order-2 allocatios"? Thank you - Emil order-0 allocations are of 1 page. order-1 allocations are of 2 contiguous pages. order-2 allocations are of 4 contiguous pages. right? We have not seen any recurrence for two weeks after the memory size was increased to 128MB for the guests. Again, there isn't any workload on these guests. |
