[Bug 832694] Re: Error inserting ramzswap in Oneiric Desktop ISO 24th August

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.99ubuntu5

---------------
initramfs-tools (0.99ubuntu5) oneiric; urgency=low

  * hooks/compcache: udev RUN commands cannot include double quotes (")
    nor do they support shell syntax.  Move to an external helper script
    to provision and add the memory swap partitions.
  * hooks/compcache: add support for the updated zram staging driver
    which requires the size to be pushed into sysfs and the partition be
    initialised before adding.  (LP: #832694)

  Error inserting ramzswap in Oneiric Desktop ISO 24th August

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I had this problem when trying to boot a VM with 256 MB of RAM: 
  FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/3.0.0-9-generic/kernel/ubuntu/compcache/ramzswap.ko): Invalid module format

  This sounded wrong as an error for such problem, so following apw advice tried booting with more memory and trying to insert the module manually, same issue:
  root at ubuntu:~# modprobe ramzswap
  FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/3.0.0-9-generic/kernel/ubuntu/compcache/ramzswap.ko): Invalid module format

  This module failing to load is a common theme in many bugs in the
  database, I do not think they are duplicates, my feeling is that
  something is failing that is not being clearly reported, rather.
