Good question :-/ I'm working on a new stable version of grml, let's either 
debug this together as soon as we are both in front of the box or otherwise 
let's wait until kernel 2.6.24 and new grml snapshots are available (I expect 
to happen that in january '08).

Sorry, running out of ideas currently, please keep me up2date.

thx && regards,

Hi Mika!

Thank you for providing the new snapshot. But unfortunately it still does not
work! What else can I do to help you?

Hi Darsha!

The cdrom bootoption very probably does not work as expected due to the new 
booting layout.

Do you have any chance to test booting with a current snapshot like:
http://daily.grml.org/grml-medium_sid_20071126.iso
?

Hi Mika!

Just wanted to test the "cdrom"-bootoption as described in issue72 and
http://grml.org/files/release-1.0/grml-cheatcodes.txt.

grml-1.0-3 reports /dev/hdc whereas Ubuntu 7.10 (Kernel: 2.6.22) shows me
/dev/scd0. I've tried both as "cdrom"-option but the behavior did not change.

I am not sure if that was the right thing to look due lack of specific knowledge
of the (cdrom-)bootprocedure.

If you can tell me where or what to look at I'll be glad to give you more
details. Hope this issue can be solved as this problem is serious (at least for
me). Thanks!

Hi Darsha!

Hm, maybe a kernel 2.6.22 vs. 2.6.23 issue? I'm just working on a new kernel 
build, as soon as I've a new ISO I'll inform you.

thx && regards,

Hi,

grml 1.0-5 and 1.1-rc1 fails to boot on my toshiba portege m100. Bootloader is
shown and working, kernel and initrd is also being loaded but screen keeps blank
after that and cdrom spins down.

Bootoptions "debug" and "nofb" did not change anything. Something must have been
changed sind 1.0-3 where booting works flawlessly. I've attached the
"grml-hwinfo"-File (with grml 1.0-3) to provide more infos.

I just saw issue72. Maybe there can be a workaround with the "cdrom"-bootoption
if so I'll report back here.
