To damian-sawiicki: Do you see a zram-config.conf file under /etc/init ?
Another stupid question: did you precisely invoke "dpkg --purge zram-
config" ?

(When I realized I still had zram-config at work after uninstalling it,
I didn't think about "dpkg --purge" and just removed whatever "zram"
files I found in the system, especially /dev/zram0 and /dev/zram1 as the
machine has two cores, and eventually zram-config.conf if it was still
there, but I am not even sure it was still there).

To Luis Henriques: I installed the generic i386 kernel and headers in a
P4, and it has also been installed to a T60 where it was running with
many programs at same time and zram-config installed and at work. All
this lasted about 45 minutes and the session didn't fail, although some
swapping was occurring. No buffer I/O occurred.

Now I am being testing in the P4, zram-config reinstalled, your kernel
i386 generic installed, since about 15 minutes. Are running: Libreoffice
writer, Firefox, Software Center, PPA Software Center…

Before meeting with the buffer I/O error I used to change the default
values for the size of the swap devices (lower the size to 1/4) and
setup the swappiness to 0, but for the test I do leave the default
values unchanged.

I will come back later to add information according to the results I
will get. Now I will start an additional heavy load by starting Ubuntu
Builder and build a custom ISO with your newer kernel and reinstall
zram-config to it. (At least to test the behavior while 'heavy duty' is
being done).
