Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and rely on, and report back so we can complete the stable release soon.
Tested it on a rather new Lenovo ThinkPad X470s. In general, it worked fine both with booting the amd64 bit version off
a) the grml64-full ISO via grml-rescueboot b) the grml96-full ISO via USB 3.0 stick
Unless mentioned otherwise I only tried the "copy grml to RAM" and "copy whole medium to RAM" options. Noticed no differences between those two, especially not wrt. to the issues reported below.
"copy grml to RAM" = only squashfs, "copy whole medium to RAM" = all files on ISO, not really much of a difference for a normal ISO, but relevant if you've custom files on your ISO
The following issues showed up:
- In all cases it showe (with the bootloader background screen still shown if booted via grml-rescueboot, otherwise still with the bootloader resolution and font) an error message "error: null src bitmap on grub_video_bitmap_create_scaled.", then "Loading kernel" + "Loading initrd" and strangely also "Press any key to continue". Strangely because:
- Pressing any key does not cause any immediate change or reaction.
- Leaving this screen without pressing any key shows grml booting after maybe 15 to 30 seconds anyways.
This is https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/16 and fixed now.
- X does _not_ start if I press "x" but throws some error messages including some "permission denied" and "cannot connect to X server".
[...]
This is https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/20 and under debugging by Darshaka right *now*.
- If I try to connect to an WPA 2 Enterprise wifi I just get the prompt for a normal WPA 1/2 Personal (Shared Secret) network and hence don't get any network. (That's also the reason why I couldn't quickly get the X logs off that machine.)
This is https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/28 and we'd need help from someone implementing this feature.
I don't seem to be able to use 802.1X for authenticating the machine on the network either. At least I haven't found an according menu point in grml-network.
https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/29 and same as above :)
I'm not sure if I tried that before, so the chances that this is not a regression but just a missing feature. :-)
Indeed :)
