I tried 'init 3' as well - boot process stops at same place.
Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2010-02-08 09:54:30 UTC 
how much memory do you have?
Comment 3 Forgotten User Si7ddX0wxG 2010-02-09 05:37:34 UTC 
I tried a different live-cd(11.2)

bug 576948 may be linked to this. With 576548 the process goes well beyond the line 'setting up ramzwap device' but ends with a (openSUSE) green screen of death while starting Akonadi.
Comment 6 Forgotten User k_W9C-4F_b 2010-02-18 22:36:05 UTC 
bug 576948 has been solved with milestone 2. I suggest that Glenn Doig tries Milestone 2 to see if the bug remains.
Comment 7 Forgotten User Si7ddX0wxG 2010-02-19 11:06:13 UTC 
I tried a later edition, openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64-Build0448-Media.iso and that seemed to work better and it booted ok.
I did not see any messages for ramzwap - 
# grep -i ramzwap  /var/log/*

Please close this.
Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2010-02-19 11:21:03 UTC 
I only took out the support for compcache, which is rather sad. But as I have no idea why it doesn't work and there are no maintainers for this code, it was the only choice.
