Hi Sunny,

I don't understand what's going on with your system:
* snapd is running out of memory. snapd should be using about 20MB of
resident memory. How much was it trying to use when it ran out? How
much is available? What does dmesg say about this crash?
* snapd on a core system that doesn't list any snaps makes no sense at
all. It needs to have at least three snaps at first boot: core,
kernel, and gadget, otherwise you wouldn't get there. How are you
building the image that you are booting? What's in
/var/lib/snapd/state.json? (don't just pastebin that file if you have
credentials in it!) What's in /snap? What's in /var/lib/snapd/seed/?
And in seed.yaml? What's in /var/lib/snapd/snaps? What's in
/etc/os-release?
