Hi all, I would like to inform you about an issue uncovered in kernel 4.18, coming from the L1TF mitigation patch set. The PAE kernel (i586), when running on intal x86_64 hardware with an address size of > 42 phusical bits can show issue while enabling swap space, in the form of: Truncating oversized swap area, only using 0k out of 2047996k (to be found in dmesg) The options you have in this case are: * Accept to run without swap for the time being * Keep on using a 4.17.x kernel * If it's a VM you run a 32bit guest in on a 64bit host, you might tune the address size of the machine The kernel team has already submitted a fixed kernel into Tumbleweed, which is currently being staged and is hopefully reaching Tumbleweed soon. Cheers, Dominique
