+- mount /dev/sr0 fails, missing drivers on eurobuild12, more MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf
+- keyboard basically never works in early ramdisk shell
+- get below 64MB memory
+- install.txt specific to Archlinux32, i486
+  - mkfs -O^64bit
+- still low memory issues (pinentry croaks about missing signatures on low memory)
+- multiple VTs
+- 128MB RAM
+  (109/109) checking package integrity
+  error: GPGME error: System error w/o errno (libgpg-error, definition)
+  GPG_ERR_MISSING_ERRNO (gpgme, only in layer hasSystemError)
+  errno is not set but a system call failed
+  swap, no difference
+  adding /tmp on /mnt/tmp
+  error: GPGME error: System error w/o errno under normal operation
+  GPGME error: Inappropriate ioctl under strace
+  => suspecting OOM issues because PGP verification keeps things in memory
+  for all packages, it fails after package N, before it verifies fine..
+- 96MB, same pgp error
+- 80MB, /tmp/mkinitcpio on /tmp in chroot fails with out of disk, KASLR fails
+- 64MB RAM, kernel panic, doesn't start at all, kernel panic, System is deadlocked on memory
+  normal boot works, but not from CDROM?
+  no poweroff in intalled system (shutdown ramdisk?)
+  syslinux has a different kernel layout than grub maybe?
+  live hangs on shutdown for a long time (deactivating swap presures the RAM of the processes
+  runing on the ramdisk heavily, after minut we get "Reached target Reboot", then finally hangs)
+- 52MB, kernel panic, System is deadlocked on memory
+- kernel 5.12.10
+- reserve_initrd_mem
+- smaller ramdisk
+  - replace udev with eudev or mdev
+  - fsck, kmod, etc. 
+  - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio/Minimal_initramfs (falconindy)
+  - go back to busybox version (for instance mount)
+- qxl: [TTM] Out of kernel memory, we should simply blacklist most of modern
+  stuff (happens on qemu/libvirtd) => use VGA
+- with 64MB RAM: sudden freezes of shell and/or kernel
+- have a special i486 kernel:
+  - without zstd modules and ramdisk (zstd is just not behaving nicely on
+    low-memory systems)
+  - have default modules compiled in statically for vintage hardware
+    (at least disk, hdi and network)
+- mkinitcpio on 64MB never finishes (thrashing), using gzip works, xz and zstd not
+- CDROM image is too big, must fit on an actual CD
