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"
Does it also work if you simply omit any option and use the default? If you read the manpage, lzma -9 shouldn't be used anyway. On another note, I've used this on virtual machines with very few memory and it always worked.
