Hello list,
I'm using arch on an old laptop with only 128MB RAM. I had problems compressing the initcpio image with lzma, it always failed allocating memory. The following one-line patch allowed me to set my own compression level in mkinitcpio.conf, with COMPRESSION="lzma -4"
can you just set XZ_DEFAULTS=--memlimit=48MiB and leave mkinitcpio alone? i am not sure if this approach could work.
