Description

I was testing Haiku nightly (hrev55370) under ESXi 6.7.

If I give Haiku more than 140GB of memory then then it cannot boot of the ISO and it cannot boot off the installed drive. It shows the icons but none are lit up.

I see this in the syslog: PANIC: error allocating early page!

Syslogs attached from both.

I tested nightly with QEMU on a system with 4 GB memory and 144 GiB zram-based swap(compressing RAM to show the system more swap). I allocated 144GiB memory to Haiku and I reached the desktop. The problem could be related to your hypervisor. Could you try with QEMU? I am not the one with 140 GB memory :)

I tried with 160G memory allocated to Haiku and it really did not boot, with the same error message. PANIC: error allocating early page!

Good to know its not hypervisor specific at least (I guess?).
