I know that executing a bunch of commands as root is scary and I should explain more but the reboot when uncompressing easy debian is a common problem and that is the solution from that huge thread and the other one "massive improvment under I/O load"
just copy and paste and try to uncompress, it works.
edit:
It also works for other I/O intensive jobs like transmission starting a download, etc.

Issue this commands as root:
Code:
echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster
echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests
echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/nr_requests
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/slice_idle
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/slice_idle
echo 32 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/quantum
echo 32 > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/quantum
echo 80 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_sync
echo 80 > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_sync
echo 180 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_async
echo 180 > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_async

Confirmed! Works like a charm! Now I ruined my image by other means, but that's part of the learning process. The sudden reboots are gone and the process was a lot faster.

Thanks!

You'll yield results much quicker asking what I did not fiddle around with. Isn't that what makes a chroot so much fun?

But I agree - a reboot at the same point in a certain command doesn't sound like smart reflex problems...
Speaking of which, my SR only worked after I reflashed for the first time. Before that it would reboot too. But you probably tried that already.
