Created attachment 528532 [details] kernel 4.14.36 .config I use sys-block/zram-init-3.8 to create a 2 GiB swap partition at boot time with following config: systemctl edit zram_swap [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/sbin/zram-init -d0 -s16 -alzo 2048 ExecStop= ExecStop=/usr/sbin/zram-init -d0 0 This has worked really well until now. With gentoo-sources-4.34.36 the the systemd boot process stalls at the point where the zram swap is being created. To be able to boot again I had to disable zram_swap. Kernel 4.31.35 and the 4.14.x kernels before work without issues. I did not change the .config, I simply copied it over from 4.14.35 to 4.14.36 and did a make oldconfig. Same situation on another machine with kernel 4.16.4 (4.16.3 works). I guess this must be a regression introduced with the latest stable kernel patchset.
Created attachment 528534 [details] dmesg output (with zram_swap disabled)
Can no longer reproduce with recent zram-init gentoo-sources and systemd. No zram_var_tmp and zram_swap stalls any longer, yay!
