zabbix_agentd fails to start with error
"cannot attach shared memory for disk statistics collector:
[22] Invalid argument"
Note this doesn't look like the "cannot allocate shared mem" issue in the docs
(here we have "cannot attach shared memory", not "allocate")

Since it is unlikely that you have a similar machine (Raspberry Pi is armv6), I will be happy to follow instructions for debugging.

Agent works fine with same OS (except kernel rev) on Trimslice with Tegra arm7l architecture wit hFloating Point hardware support.

working system:-

[root@trimslice ~]# sysctl -a | grep shm
kernel.shmmax = 33554432
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmni = 4096

failing system:

[drew@alarm-1 ~]$ sysctl -a |grep shm
kernel.shmmax = 33554432
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 0

working:
Linux trimslice 2.6.38-6-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 3 04:23:49 UTC 2012 armv7l

failing:
Linux alarm-0 3.1.10-12-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Tue Jul 17 04:51:16 UTC 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux

Since it appears to error on disk stats collector, the disk devices do seem to differ:

mmcblk0p1 is the partition containing the root fs

sda1 is the partition holding the root fs, not sure what the mtdblock devices are but they're not on the "working" Trimslice.
Could it be that the error: "cannot attach shared memory for disk statistics collector: [22] Invalid argument" is due to the zabbix agent failing to understand the device 31 mtdblock devices?
