+- 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
