Debian based Linux Live system

initial version of kernel 2.6.26-grml

A first version of kernel 2.6.26-grml is ready to go:

% uname -a
Linux okely-dokely 2.6.26-grml #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 27 00:10:16 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Now work on external modules will start, if you want to follow progress of work on kernel 2.6.26-grml check out our grml-kernel mercurial repository. If you want to get the kernel using Debian’s package management even before it’s available through grml’s repository add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and install linux-image-2.6.26-grml then:

deb http://grml.org/2.6.26 ./

Please notice that we are testing migration to libata with this kernel so if you use root=/dev/hd.. in your bootloader config make sure to switch to root=/dev/sd.. or even better use root=UUID=… (see stable root device aka UUID for more details) instead.
