Well, you could read the message it gave you, kernel: zram: Unknown parameter `zram_num_devices'

Lets find out what parameters zram has:



The parameter was renamed to num_devices.

Note that zram is not supposed to autoload at boot, you have it configured somewhere to load automatically and the parameter that's being set is deprecated. I don't know where you might have put this, so I can't provide any advice about where to find this configuration, other than looking at the regular places like /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modules.

You should also take a look at /etc/init.d/

I'm guessing you are using zram as a "faster swap", am I correct?

I adapted the script /etc/init.d/zram and now the zram swap works again.

Thanks & regards,
