Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Kernel 2.6.38-grml availableOnly two days after Linus released Kernel 2.6.38 we already have it in the grml-testing repository! Besides the usual AUFS support it also features mainline's squashfs XZ support, meaning no extra squashfs patch needed anymore to get support for LZMA (now known as XZ). Our build tool grml-live(8) already supports this kernel version and uses XZ compression with squashfs-tools >=1:4.2-1 by default. Please note: If you want to use current grml-live version (>=0.13.1) with older kernel versions than 2.6.38 don't forget to point SQUASHFS_BINARY to the according mksquashfs binary and set SQUASHFS_OPTIONS accordingly. If you want to build older versions without any hassles you can still use old grml-live versions of course (as provided and shipped with each Grml release). Bottom line, XZ support in mainline (kernel >=2.6.38 and squashfs-tools >=4.2) will provide a better upgrade cycle for grml-live and the grml environment. Friday, March 11. 2011

Kernel 2.6.35-grml available Posted by Michael Prokop

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Kernel 2.6.35-grml availableThanks to excellent work by Gebi the squashfs-lzma issue for the new kernel could be solved. Now I'm proud to be able to announce a full-featured kernel 2.6.35-grml[64] which is available from the Grml grml-testing repository. grml-live 0.11.0 is available as well, featuring support for kernel 2.6.35-grml. The new squashfs-lzma patches in kernel 2.6.35 aren't using the openwrt style format any longer but instead use the official on disk layout from mainline. That's why a new squashfs-tools package is required to properly support kernel 2.6.35-grml[64]. This package is available as squashfs-lzma-tools4. All you've to do to get a kernel 2.6.35-grml[64] based live system is upgrading to grml-live >=0.11.0, install squashfs-lzma-tools4 and grml-live will take care of the rest automatically for you. For further details regarding the current state of squashfs-lzma in Grml please have a look at the official grml-live documentation. BTW: The current daily ISOs feature the new kernel version already, so give it a shot while it's hot! :) Wednesday, August 18. 2010Event: Grml at FrOSCon 2010
Several Grml team members will be present at FrOSCon in Sankt Augustin/Germany on August 21st/22nd 2010. We will have some gadgets like Grml USB pens with multiboot setup of the Grml release (32 and 64-bit), coffee cups,... So make sure to visit us, grab some CDs and USB pens while they are hot, and share your experience with Grml. See you at FrOSCon!
