Hi Simon,

For now, I'm not quite sure what happened. Could you please provide the
output without the movablecore=6.5G option ?

Seeing from your output, your totalpages=2051391, which is about 8G. But
the memory mapped for your node 0 is obviously not enough.

When we have high memory, ZONE_MOVABLE is taken from ZONE_HIGH. So the
first line, 8304MB HIGHMEM available is also strange.

So I think we need more info to find out the problem. :)

Thank. :)
