Hi Keith, I'm not sure, but I guess that zRAM is used also for PPC. If so, try to perform the installation after you have switched off zRAM according to the following mail. sudo swapoff /dev/zram0 sudo swapoff /dev/zram1 ... sudo rmmod zram ----------------------------------- Check with swapon -s that there is no active zram device.

With zram enabled it should only freeze when really writing to those zram swapdevices otherwise no freeze should appear. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa Post to : lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
