From: Janneke Nieuwenhuizen <janneke <at> gnu.org>
To: 63527 <at> debbugs.gnu.org
Subject: [PATCH v5 08/11] services: childhurd: Bump default qemu memory to
 2048MB.
Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 17:47:29 +0200

When booting with pci-arbiter and rumpdisk and using 1024MB of memory for
qemu, booting hangs, or seems to hang, at the end of the rumpdisk boot
messages.  At least 1200MB is required, currently.

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (<hurd-vm-configuration>)[memory-size]: Bump
to 2048.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl: Suggest using 2048 here too.  Update
example `guix system image' and "qemu" command lines too.
