that memory region corresponds to the ramoops node: reserved-memory { ramoops@bff00000{ compatible = "ramoops"; reg = <0x0 0xbff00000 0x0 0x100000>; record-size = <0x20000>; console-size = <0x20000>; ftrace-size = <0x20000>; }; }; According to the comment in reserve_memblock_reserved_regions(): /* * We expected memblock_reserve() regions to conflict with * memory created by request_standard_resources(). */ and the reserved-memory region evades this condition, but i'm not entirely sure how to properly fix this - any idea? -- bye, p.
