Today I tried to run the latest Turmvilla configuration on a Lenovo X250 laptop (Nova 64bit kernel). However, although the machine has 16GB of of memory only 1942MB is transferred to init, see the log below. Does anyone have an idea what could cause this behaviour?

This indeed looks strange if your notebook has 16 GiB of RAM. Could you please try to capture also the initial output of NOVA, which should look similar to
NOVA Microhypervisor v7-84ce824 (x86_64): Nov 26 2015 17:54:18 [gcc 4.9.2]

If your RAM is already missing from this output, we'd know where to look for the cause of the issue.
