Hello, i am using a germl squeeze with kernel 2.6.31-grml on my asus netbook 1005ha-m. Now i want to install a newer kernel 2.6.33-grml as secodn kernel. I have installed all the modules and the kernel with the aptitude command. After that i have done a update-initramfs -u -t -k 2.6.33-grml, grub2 i have configured. But the kernel will not start the system. I use speakup, so i can not see, what the monitor will display, bevor espeakup iststarted. Must i do a depmod for the new installed kernel? Is there a script included in grml, that will upgrade a kernel automaticaly? Regards. Dietmar

grml-rebuildfstab does append instead of replace

Hi, Each time I call rebuildfstab, the newly built entries are added to my / etc/fstab, instead of replacing the old ones. Here are my last lines (from ancient grml), do I need to update it? Thanks # Warning! Please do *not* change any lines below because they are auto- generated by rebuildfstab! # If you want to disable rebuildfstab set CONFIG_FSTAB='no' in /etc/grml/ autoconfig! # Added by GRML -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

manual grml to hd - read only root fs

Hi, I did a simple rsync -aHSx --devices --specials / $new_os_mnt/ instead of grml2hd. All seems fine just that the root fs is still mounted read only. what's the trick to turn rsync'ed grml hd image into a normal system, which mounts root fs rw, and mounts other fstab entries as well?
