Hi! I've been getting repeated kernel oopses all of which seem UKSM related. I first experienced the issues in the 3.7 line of releases up to about the last two (3.7.0-8,3.7.0-10), and now again with 3.8-4. I have not tested much and do not know the cause or the exact versions of liquorix where this occurs (this is the first time it occurred in 3.8, 3.6 worked fine, very common in 3.7), but it is kind of random as to when they occur. I would gladly test this more thoroughly if the need arises, but don't really know where to start. Some relevant logs and system info:

Interesting, I can disable this in the next kernel package. With page cache compression in zcache2, uksm's purpose isn't clear on the desktop.

One thing I forgot to mention is that this *might* be related to the adobe flash plugin. This was a while ago so I don't remember the details, but I think I had these oopses whenever flash videos would suddenly start freezing and sound would play really fast before stuttering. However, that might have been related to a broken audio setup since I didn't notice these symptoms the last time it happened. I also don't remember how stable the system would run after the oops previously, but the last time it happened, the system seemed completely stable, which seems reasonable from what I know of the uksm daemon (almost nothing). Not sure this helps much, but just putting out as much info as I can in case it is needed.
