[Kenneth Parker <1215513@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

kitten_geek, would it help if I [figuratively] stroke your back?   :-)

One line of a summary I recently published on # 1217189:

    >  zram: There is little point creating a zram of greater than twice the size of 
    >  memory since we expect a 2:1 compression ratio. Note that zram uses about 
    >  0.1% of the size of the disk when not in use so a huge zram is wasteful.

It seems that the issue might be in the initial "guess" at the size of
the Ram Disk, right?

Thank you and best regards,

Kenneth Parker, an EXTREMELY overworked Linux 12.0.4 LTS Server Admin,
here in Seattle, WA

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.
