hi, i have installed the latest grml (schluchtenscheisser). everything was working out of the box and i upgraded (aptitude safe-upgrade) to the latest packages. after a reboot everything was working. after another reboot udev doesn't work anymore (it hangs at populating /dev) and i have to boot with 'noudev' to get it to start. but now i can't access any device like the nw-card, or usb-stick anymore. does anyone know about that problem and how to fix it ? thx, markus.

Why does GRML mix up the stable and teh unstable branche in apt?
by Hermann 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi, a few weeks ago, I installed Gnome on my GRML 2008-11. Since Gnome shipps a lot of updates, I got a lot of stuff from the unstable branche of the repo. This results in screwing up my system, especially Gnome. So I commented out the unstable branche and removed comment chars from the testing branche; the stability was much better. But due to the lack of performance I finally got rid of Gnome. But the question stays: Why is stable and unstable mixed up on GRML, instead of including the testing branche? With one exception, this mixing caused no problem on the text console. Hermann --
