Hi Joe,

install went okay, (slow, but to be accepted with 512MB RAM and Ubuntu).
Reboot did not freeze and the system rebooted fine. Uses a heck of a lot
of swap (again to be expected). So, the major bug is now resolved. We
can now look at other issues once we have a full set of ISO's for
lubuntu.

You are a star of the 1st magnitude!

Phill.

Title:
  Unexpected freezes Saucy

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When using desktop-installer with lubuntu there is a freeze at the
  very end (bug 1225429) which also affects desktop-i386 and desktop-
  amd64. There are also unexplained freezes on the system when using it.
  Further tracking down has found
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2162655&page=3 and earlier
  today this arrived..

  As for freezing we discovered that since kernel 3.10.6 zram is broken
  which causes freezes and was fixed only completely in 3.12rc1. We
  backported that fixes in Neptune's Kernel I am not sure if the ubuntu
  kernel devs did the same.

  Disabling zram prevents the freeze in desktop-i386

  My machine specification is http://phillw.net/hardware/aDU4RVzY
  although using the lower RAM (512Mb) has been achieved by KVM
  http://phillw.net/hardware/LuFdGuxP increasing the available RAM to
  1GB does not show this error. It has also now been tested on 'real'
  hardware with 512Mb of RAM and is also showing the freeze (as well as
  with VBox).
