if you will reflash, can you try not install 1.3-6.3a kernel ?

@mk01

I have done several tests.

My conclusion:
I am only able to run apt-get update; apt-get upgrade from a fresh beta2 img (link posted in this thread)
by disabeling zram-swap (/etc/default/zram-swap SIZE=0) and change the vm.min_free_kbytes parameter to 16384 or 32768 and xbmc not running.

Test 1:
zram-swap=128 or 64 vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 and xbmc not running => (E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly)

Test 2:
zram-swap=0, vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 and xbmc running, run apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-kernel => stalls my pi. XBMC freezes and unable to setup a ssh session

Test 3:
zram-swap=0, vm.min_free_kbytes=32768 and xbmc running, run apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-kernel => (E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly)

Test 4:
zram-swap=0, vm.min_free_kbytes=32768 and xbmc not running run apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-kernel => OK.
