Tobias is helping me especially at the udev- and hotplug-stuff in grml. Welcome in the team, Tobias!

Every 2-3 weeks I'll provide a current devel-snapshot to grml-developers and beta-testers so I get feedback from people using different software and hardware than me. If you think you could help the grml-team you are welcomed to join the grml beta-testers. Monday, March 21. 2005
finished devel-release 0.3-2 Posted by Michael Prokop

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) finished devel-release 0.3-2As I mentioned on grml-devel I've put a devel-release online today. It uses 2.6.11-grml with full unionfs-support. I've had some problems with unionfs ('cp skipping file ... as it was replaced while being copied') but could fix this via using a current snapshot. In the next few days I'll implement the missing stuff in grml-x, do some more quality assurance and work on the installer (grml2hd) with Jimmy. Tuesday, March 15. 2005
unionfs working on grml; extra ... Posted by Michael Prokop

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) unionfs working on grml; extra modules for 2.6.11-grml availableI now have a grml-ISO running with unionfs, now it's possible to run 'apt-get install foobar' when running from CD. :-) I had to use some hacks (thanks to the debug-bootparam ;-)) to get unionfs working. But it shouldn't be that much work to make it more elegant and working smooth. ;-) If I can handle it a devel-release might be available at the weekend. I also did some work on the extra-modules, most of them are available already. Take a look at the kernel-devel-webpage for some more information. Monday, March 14. 2005

Now I'll work on integration of the missing extra-modules (ipw, loop-aes, ndiswrapper,..). Sunday, March 13. 2005kernel 2.6.11-grmlIn the last few days I've been busy working on kernel 2.6.11-grml. A webpage for development on 2.6.11-grml is available online. Please notice that the kernel is still under development but the core stuff has been integrated already. I would be happy to receive feedback. Thursday, March 10. 2005working on 2.6.11-grmlI'm busy working on kernel 2.6.11-grml. Currently the kernel includes the following patches: 1900_lowmem-reserve-oops.patch Some other patches are waiting for integration (reiser4, orinoco-rfmon-dragorn,...). Some of them aren't ready for 2.6.11 but the kernel should be useful for testing already at this stage of development. I'll test it on my development machines, if everything works fine so far I'll integrate the kernel into the grml-chroot so I can provide an updated devel-ISO. Tuesday, March 8. 2005

Thursday, March 3. 2005grml-shirtsWe planned to arrive at Chemnitzer LinuxTag 2005 on 4th of March bringing grml-shirts with us. The producer of the shirts was at hospital, but as it looks like it might work anyway ('last-minute action'). So grml-devel-guys: chances to get a shirt in Chemnitz are not that bad. ;-) Thursday, March 3. 2005kernel 2.6.11[-grml]While creating the grml ISOs for release 0.3 I'm running same basic patching + compile tests with kernel 2.6.11. Compiling unionfs 1.0.9 against the new kernel worked like a charme, integration of squashfs2.1-r2 and patch-2.6.11-ck1 was also an easy task. iteraid.patch required some small adjustments (see MOD_*_USE_COUNT macros were deprecated). Several other patches are waiting for integration. Remember: if you want to see any special patches inside 2.6.11-grml please drop me a mail [mika (at) grml.org]. Wednesday, March 2. 2005locking a grml boxI was thinking of a reliable way to lock a grml box. Logging out is not possible due to the respawn-feature of init. The solution is to run 'passwd && vlock -a'. This sets a password for the current user (which is disabled by default for security reasons) and then locks the current console and disables switching to other consoles. |
