Raspberry Pi Kernels (2.0)

ARM

All I know is I have been testing for 2 hours now and all is good so far if I do not open chromium and try to navigate sites.

ADDED:

Everything just locked up on me again and no chromium.

After another kernel dump I was able to get the logs before it froze. It is pretty much the same thing saying issue with page swapping. I believe I just assumed it was a 16k issue with chromium but I did not have it loaded this time; just firefox and after 20 minutes this time.

ADDITIONAL:

@Sam_Fisher It is looking like the culprit is the zswap-arm.service. I have disabled it here and run chromium flatpak and firefox while at the same time compiled a kernel with distcc and -j19 with vim3pro and rockpro64 as slaves. I am unable to make it freeze so far.

I have 8G ram but some here may have smaller ram and may have to create a swap space on disk if they run out of ram.

I uploaded v6.15.rc2-2 (today’s latest) to unstable when the mirrors sync. Install the kernel then disable zswap-arm.service before rebooting and see what it does.

sudo systemctl disable zswap-arm

Kernels v6.14.3-1 pushed to unstable when the mirrors sync.

If i am not mistaken, Manjaro ARM by default comes with zswap enabled. I think it was 500mb in my case (probly depends on the actual ram size by percent). I always increase it to match my actual ram size which is 4GB. In the case of RPI, a larger swap space is essential in my opinion.

It sets by default 1 1/2 times the devices total memory.

Yeah 500mb was probably RPIOS default. Sorry.
