Comment (by tqh):

 It is weird. Most sizes are from ELF, kernel and drivers so should not be
 big, and addresses being close to 512GB doesn't make sense either. So if
 it is not the stick, it may be the download or how you copy it to the
 stick.

 I see we have two other places where the same message is used. One in BIOS
 booting, and one in an arch x86_64 specific memory check, and I think the
 arch one looks strange:
