Sorry, Dan, I misunderstood one part of your response to me.  I never
had zram-config, until I did "apt-get install zram-config", after
reading a work-around, earlier in the forum, by dac922.

zram-config did not fully configure (so is an "incomplete install" on
the Apt system.  But, it's a MOST convenient way to bring down zram0, on
a system that has the Kernel code, but not the most convenient way,
based on your post, before the one for me.  In it, you mention rmmod
zram.  The next time I can get "standalone" on this production server
(or if I upgrade my netbook that's my "test-bed" for Ubuntu 12.0.4
Desktop, and try it), I will try rmmod zram, followed by "fdisk
/dev/zram0", to see if it exists any more.

Note that, even on the desktop, I'm a "control freak", such that I
disabled Lightdm from coming up on boot.  (And then, if I WANT the
desktop, I type "start lightdm" on root).  Does that show the "type" of
computer nerd I am?  (Coupled by the fact that, when I was happily "bit
twiddling", and sharing the "fruits", it was Red Hat 6).  :-)

Thanks for this idea, Dan.

Bug description:
  Since I started using 3.8.0-29 I experienced system lock ups at random
  times. First one was while running Virtualbox (windows guest) but
  later have been without virtualbox running for example while shutting
  down or while reading a webpage.

  I could not find any relevant log, but I'd post any log file
  considered useful.

  This has hapened in 2 different machines (the one im reporting from is
  intel with intel graphics and the other is AMD with radeon graphics).
  Both 64 bits.

  Up until 3.8.0-27 inclusive I had not had a lockup in years in any of
  those machines. I have been running Ubuntu 64 bit since at least 2008
  in one of them.
