[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A quick follow up.... it will be the new kernel 3.11; I'm guessing it was
dropped from 3.10.6 which also messed up zram. As the new kernels come on
board, they drop support for older kit. This would tie into when it got
broken. Grab an A1 iso and confirm if it was running 3.10.x, in which case
the bug can be filed as a regression (As to what hope we would have on such
a regression... pass... but at least it would be filed as such).

All the alphas / betas that get through for lubuntu are safely archived at
http://phillw.net/isos/ It's good to have archives!

Regards,

Phill.
