What is ramzswap ?

roberts:
From change log of Alpha 1:
* compressed swap in ram -> able to run more and longer, less crashes due to out of ram

The system will use a portion of ram for compressed swap. Look in /etc/fstab.

Boot errors in Tiny Core 3.0 Alpha 2 (not present in Alpha 1 or 2.10 or 2.11).
I have TC installed in an ext2 sd card, from which I boot. After the EXTLINUX greetings, usual boot messages, when loading the  Tiny Core Extension I get  error messages and after a while the system boots.
Things go very fast, so I have only been able to read something like:

/etc/init.d/rcS : line 460 : usleep : text file busy
repeated about 20 times
after taht, sometimes it says 'done' and continues booting, while other times I get another error message before the 'done' and booting.

After rebooting with syslog enabled, I've found the following messages:

daemon.err udevd-work[594] exec of program '/sbin/modprobe' failed 
daemon.err udevd-work[593] exec of program '/sbin/modprobe' failed 
.... up to 10 times total (with different numbers inside the brackets), and then:

daemon.err udevd-work[671] exec of program '/bin/sh' failed 
daemon.err udevd[93] can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/56-lsusb.rules'
daemon.err udevd[93] can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/64-md-raid.rules'

and then a lot of more info that seems normal to me (messages about mounting things from tce/optional)

I've booted several more times, and the syslog seems to vary:
* sometimes the daemon.err udevd-work[xxx] exec of program '/sbin/modprobe' failed are missing
* sometimes  the daemon.err udevd[93] can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/56-lsusb.rules' or daemon.err udevd[93] can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/64-md-raid.rules' is missing

Hope it helps

I downloaded the ISO for alpha2.
I have checked the md5 and it was correct
I boot already with "embed"

Yeah, I have seen it there but never seen ramzswap before in other distros. Does it have a fixed (max) size? How is it determined? What is about low mem systems? Is it always there or can be disabled (boot code)?
