I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.0.4, rarely upgraded, due to sensitive work. I did apt-get upgrade (plus direct "apt-get install" of kernel packages, that are held back on "upgrade").

I get the message "buffer i/o error on device zram0, logical block 314223.

Due to this error, I'm leaving it in text mode, while diagnosing the problem. On a whim, I did "fdisk /dev/ram0" under root, and then "p", showing total 314224 sectors, one higher than the number in the error message.

Since I'm not running anything yet, I haven't encountered the System Lockup.

Could I go to the scripts in the ramdisk portion of the bootup and find the one that sets up zram0 and edit it? Perhaps put a lower number in for size of ramdisk, so it doesn't hit Logical Block 314223?

Thank you and best regards,
