According the this wiki article on ZRAM it is something to do with aiding with SSDs.

Double check your RAM with memtest86+ from the CD to make sure that all is well, chances are you have a bad stick of RAM.

  • Cole, I tried your suggestion, but the memtest came up clean. – JP Viljoen Nov 02 '13 at 10:51
  • @JPViljoen Try running gnome-disks to open the disk manager in ubuntu from the live session. This will present you with some information regarding the disk then. ZRAM is supposed to be a block on RAM though, so I still think it is a stick of RAM but it could also be a fluke. I was having an issue with a fatal call to the RAM when installing XBMCbuntu (Ubuntu 12.04) and that was my issue but it was not utilizing ZRAM, it was directly referencing the RAM. TL;DR try gnome-disks and look for the disk manager's attributes for more info. – Cole Busby Nov 04 '13 at 15:45
