Pi5 16K PageSize Kernel Incompatible Software

[theofficialgman]

This issue will be a public tracker for 16K pagesize incompatible software. I made a similar post in the bookworm beta forum thread but that is still not public.

Feel free to add your own incompatible software as a comment and I will add it to this post.

Much of this list is thanks to Asahi linux wiki https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Broken-Software

Broken software:

• f2fs
• FEX
• hardened_malloc
• jemalloc
  • Geekbench 6 (< 6.2.2)
  • Minecraft Java (on versions and launchers without the <3.3.2 lwjgl native jemalloc patch)
  • rust
• fd
• Wine ARM64
• Wine x86_64 through Box64
• Box86
• Zig
• All Chromium based applications (pre-102)
  • qt5-webengine
  • qt6-webengine (QtPdf)
• libvirt/QEMU/KVM (fixed in versions newer than bookworm has)
• All Android applications (only 4k header compatible, https://reviews.llvm.org/D55029)
  • Minecraft Bedrock Launcher
• Most armv6/armv7 software
  • Minecraft Pi Reborn
• Scratch3
• Flycast
• DOSBox
• btrfs (should be fixed in newer linux kernels or with newly generated btrfs storage I think.. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg120249.html)
• Musescore - (< 4.2.0)

If you find this is a problem, switch to the 4k page size using:

kernel=kernel8.img

in config.txt
