A simple workaround is to blacklist the zram module, and update your initramfs: 1. create a text file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-zram.conf: blacklist zram 2. enter command update-initramfs -c -k all After reboot, the zram module will not be loaded anymore. You can also temporarily unload the

@damian-sawicki: yes, but once such memory errors DO occur, I think your system is basically compromised; you don't know when it will crash (*) and you don't know what else gets corrupted before the lock-up (why not filesystem errors, security etc?). That's why I would cut this at the root. (*)
