Marking this issue as resolved as the regression is gone and the X.org issue is
a separate issue that will be resolved as part of http://bts.grml.org/grml/
issue851
Thanks for feedback!

This does the trick. There are minor issues after switching back to
console: Colors flipped, horizontral position on screen shifted.
Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the update, Christoph.

nvidia hardware?
Does startup without xorg.conf? Start e.g. via:
grml-x -nostart fluxbox
sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf
/usr/bin/startx

Update: Using grmldailysid as of 101025, some parts of the problem
seem to be gone: USB devices are recognized, sound modules are loaded
without tons of error messages in the logfile.
The bad news: grml-x seems to make the system unusable. After loading
the window manager the system freezes, nothing can be done besides
Rebooting via magic sysrq.
This is somewhat preliminary, I'll do further checks and investigation
the next days.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the detailed information and debugging this issue, Christoph.
I'll keep this bugreport open for as long as we don't have new kernel versions
covering this issue so we can track this both for users as well as for
development. Tagging the issue with "release-stopper" so we make sure our next
release provides an according bugfix.
thanks && regards,

Some additional information, I was a bit too fast sending the previous
message:

* "agp=off" seems to make X unusable for missing /dev/agpart,
surprise. I didn't search for workarounds.
* "toram" works for full-size grml, too, and is also a workaround.-
Having a lot of RAM is probably a good idea for that.
However, an USB device like a mouse and sound are unusable.
Matches the expected behaviour :)

Thanks for asking. Since today I have a temporary replacment for the
box so I could do some tests.
Booting from an USB stick yields strange results, rather late in the
boot process, mostly input/output errors, leaving grml unusable.
Providing "agp=off" works around the problem, so does "toram" (tested
for -small only).
Verified for grml(32)-small and grml64 (full).

I really hate to tell, but: When I was about to try out your
recommendation for the kernel parameter "agp=off", I was unable to
reproduce that problem at all. Unfortunately the setup was not
exactly the same, perhaps this had some influence although I cannot
believe this (Booting from sata disk -> booting from CF in pata port;
using grml64-small -> using grml64-medium), or this bus exposes only
after a cold boot.
Unfortunately/2 this computer is in constant use so I don't have much
time for testing. Will try again tomorrow night.

Hi,
to avoid duplications this is rather brief:
grml 2010.04-rc1 (tested: grml64-small via findiso) is affected by the
regression I have reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15838
a few minutes ago. This means USB and sound are not usable.
Without USB, many of the forensic use cases of grml will be impaired;
and very likely grml will be unable to boot from USB on that hardware.
Reverting the mentioned commit might be a solution but could introduce
other problems I am not aware of. If you prefer not to patch the
kernel, please drop a warning line in the upcoming release notes.
Thanks,
Christoph
