[arch-general] out of memory while allocating z_stream
Hello, As of yesterday I cannot boot, regardless of whether I choose the regular or failback kernel from the boot loader. I haven't been able to find anything on google, so I was hoping someone here might know what's going on. Last time my system was up I installed updates including the latest kernel, and I ran e4defrag over the disk. The computer is a ThinkPad T60, with a Core 2 Duo and 2GB of Ram. I am running the i686 version of Arch Linux. My boot loader is syslinux. In the mean time I'm downloading a new copy of the Arch Install ISO (all my existing recovery disks are too old to chroot from), and I will try reinstalling the kernel. Output: Loading ../vmlinuz-linux... ok Loading ../initramfs-linux.img...ok Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok early console in decompress_kernel Decompressing Linux... Out of memory while allocating z_stream -- System halted

Reinstalling the kernel does not help (kernel version is 3.14.2-2) Booting into the system from System Rescue CD takes me to a root console, where I can see the following errors in journalctl transcribed by hand: systemd-modules-load[400]: Failed to lookup alias 'vhba': Function not implemented Failed to lookup alias 'nfs': Function not implemented Failed to lookup alias 'cuse': Funtion not implemented Failed to lookup alias 'snd-seq-oss': Function not implemented systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/Failure Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

Alright, I did a couple things at once because I was tired of rebooting so I'm not sure which actually fixed it, but it's working now. I ran the rescue disk in normal mode and did a chroot instead of trying to boot into my system. I deleted the linux kernel from /var/cache/pacman, and installed it over again I ran syslinux-update_install -u -m
