Kinky reports, that populating the memory slots of both NUMA nodes fixes this.
Kinky, what slots do you have exactly populated?

I havenât been able to verify that yet, but please find my output of
`sudo dmidecode -t memory` with a 8 * 16 GB system attached, which is
affected.

I believe the users reported that this works.
