Hello,

Ever since I recently migrated from AMD Ryzen 3400g to 5700g and went from 16GB to 32GB we get these:

This did not happen (unless there really was an OOM) when using 16GB of RAM.

The RAM is from AMD's HCL for AMD Ryzen 3000+. The RAM was tested with memtest86 with no errors. (only a night, but still)

How can I find out what is going on?
Did I misconfigure my kernel?
Do I make to configure something to use the 'immense' amount of 32GB with no issues?

Please let me know.


Kind regards,
Udo
