Added branch with the proposed fix. The OOM happens because ureadahead sets the tracing buffer to 128MB, and at a system with small amount of memory (Beagleboard) this can cause the boot to call the OOM, killing ureadahead and plymouthd.
For the fix I decided to change only the initscript, instead of adding this restriction to the ureadahead code, because then the user can still run and test it if needed. I also tried different memory thresholds, but didn't change the boot speed when comparing different bootcharts for BeagleBoard, so I just decided to avoid running it in this case. -- ureadahead generating oom messages during boot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600359 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
