(I know I should upgrade at some point) I think my current modules were hand-built from the latest compcache + maacruz's patches, but I can't find the build dir in my scratchbox right now. In any case, they're:

I noticed that when running two or more large apps (i.e. canola, navit), while ramzswap was running, would see my n810 "bog-down" (get real slow) for several seconds. When I disabled ramzswap ("swapoff /dev/ramzswap0"), removed the kernel module ("rmmod ramzswap") and went back to using a dedicated partition for my swap space, things would run much more smoothly and consistently, even if slightly slower.

I have sadly never caught it in the act, because my best indicator is that ASUI stops showing the orange long press indicator on the memory use readout.

Well, I just installed (or think I did) the CSSU and Diablo-Turbo.
When I enter
, however, I get:
Was I supposed to actually get "noname" as part of the string (and not get "Nokia-N800-43-7"), or did I get to the new Diablo Turbo correctly?
The 43-7 in that string seems a bit surprising since "About Product" from the control panel says "Version: 5.2010.33-1". (5.2008.43-7 was the code for my pre-CSSU OS.)
The only oddity during installation was that I did not get an error about sysvinit on the main installation; I went ahead anyway and entered
, which did produce an error (which I ignored).
When I enter
Code:
uname -a
Code:
Linux Nokia-N800-43-7 2.6.21-omap1 #2 PREEMPT Sun Mar 13 23:29:39 CET 2011 armv61 unknown

IMO you really do need the swap file as well, just with a lower priority so that the compcache swap is used first while it has any space left.

Did you download all debs, including "Previous release" ones?
