Start by reproducing the xbps-install calls in http/basic-void.cfg with the 512 MB and 648 MB VM limits, using void-autoinstall.pkr.hcl as the build context. Compare the 2024 ISO with the 20250202 ISO and inspect the OOM-killer output to identify what changed. Done means the installation completes reliably within 512 MB or the regression is clearly isolated.

Description

In the 2024 ISO, this wasn't a problem. Now I have a packer build as follows:

└» cat void-autoinstall.pkr.hcl
source "qemu" "void-musl" {
  iso_url          = "https://repo-fastly.voidlinux.org/live/current/void-live-x86_64-musl-20250202-base.iso"
  iso_checksum     = "sha256:0c46bf13a7a019c1fec0b2969201aecf09ff9a7646ef749e04ea63ead0c86404"
  output_directory = "output-void-musl"
  shutdown_command = "echo 'voidlinux' | sudo -S shutdown -P now"
  disk_size        = "25G"
  format           = "qcow2"
  accelerator      = "kvm"
  headless         = true
  http_directory   = "http"

  ssh_username = "admin"
  ssh_password = "voidlinux"
  ssh_timeout  = "90m" # How long we give the system to get installed

  boot_wait = "2s"
  boot_command = [
    "<tab><wait>",
    "auto autourl=http://{{.HTTPIP}}:{{.HTTPPort}}/basic-void.cfg",
    "<enter>"
  ]
}

build {
  source "source.qemu.void-musl" {
    vm_name = "void-nova"
  }
}

and the config I load:

└» cat http/basic-void.cfg
#!/bin/sh

export username=admin
export password=voidlinux

export XBPS_ARCH=x86_64-musl
export xbpsrepository="https://repo-fastly.voidlinux.org/current/musl"

export timezone="America/New_York"

export pkgs="docker git neovim temporal-cli nomad uv"

export end_action=func
end_function() {
        printf "Linking default services\n"
        ln -s /etc/sv/docker "${target}/etc/runit/runsvdir/default/docker"
        ln -s /etc/sv/dhcpcd "${target}/etc/runit/runsvdir/default/dhcpcd"
        ln -s /etc/sv/sshd "${target}/etc/runit/runsvdir/default/sshd"
        ln -s /etc/sv/agetty-ttyS0 "${target}/etc/runit/runsvdir/default/agetty-ttyS0"
        echo "***"


        echo "***"
        printf "Let's continue with our life.\n"
        sync
        reboot -f
}

# Skip boot partition
VAI_partition_disk() {
        sfdisk "${disk}" <<EOF
,${swapsize},S
;
EOF
}
VAI_format_disk() {
        mkfs.ext4 -F "${disk}2"
        mkswap -f "${disk}1"
}
export swapsize="1G"

VAI_mount_target() {
        mkdir -p "${target}"
        mount "${disk}2" "${target}"
}

VAI_configure_fstab() {
        uuid_root="$(blkid -s UUID -o value "${disk}2")"
        uuid_swap="$(blkid -s UUID -o value "${disk}1")"
        echo "UUID=$uuid_root / ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1" >> "${target}/etc/fstab"
        echo "UUID=$uuid_swap swap swap defaults 0 0" >> "${target}/etc/fstab"
}

# Removable when this is closed
VAI_install_base_system() {
    # Install a base system
    XBPS_ARCH="${XBPS_ARCH}" xbps-install -Sy -R "${xbpsrepository}" -r /mnt base-system grub

    # Install additional packages
    if [  -n "${pkgs}" ] ; then
        # shellcheck disable=SC2086
        XBPS_ARCH="${XBPS_ARCH}" xbps-install -Sy -R "${xbpsrepository}" -r /mnt ${pkgs}
    fi
}

(yes most of this can be removed in the newest mklive but the newest mklive is newer than the ISO)

The point is this image ends up in trouble because xbps-install triggers an OOMkill reliably. I believe xbps is allocating a lot of memory where it didn't always, and the system has a 512 meg limit. If I increase the system RAM from the default (512) to 648 megs, the install works flawlessly.
