Fix Ryzen boot problems #12

Closed MasterSteelblade closed 5 years ago

MasterSteelblade commented 5 years ago

As noted in https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/206 a memory setting of 8GB halts the boot sequence and causes USB issues. The workaround was to set the maximum memory to 2GB instead, which this pull request does.

Hi. I already considered this change before the release of XCP-ng 8.0, but Citrix did raise the amount of RAM in the installer for a reason, so reducing it again would simply shift the problem from some hardware to other.

I suppose the proper fix belongs to the kernel itself, which should probably not crash when there's 8Gb of RAM on this kind of hardware.

Is there a bug filed about this in the upstream?

stormi commented 5 years ago

Not by me, but I'd be interested to know if there's one and/or whether it's been fixed in the latest 4.19 LTS kernel.

Let's continue the discussion to find a proper solution on the bug report https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/206
