file-rc
by T o n g 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi, During my recent (massive) 'aptitude safe-upgrade', my file-rc was automatically removed. Is grml still using file-rc? I want to use back the file-rc. Any precautions I should take? I.e., how do I find out what is the current ??-rc that I'm using? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

[grml2usb] Minimize the number of files in the root directory on the usb drive
by Sebastian Krause 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hello! When I copy grml to a usb pen drive with grml2usb, it puts 30 files and directories into the root directory of that drive. Since I also want to use that drive for other stuff (like portable apps, multimedia files etc.) it's not nice to see my drive cluttered with dozens of files when I access it in some file manager. I've seen some live systems (I guess it was http://sidux.com/) which only need very few files to boot and put almost all of them into some subdirectory so that my directory structure stays pretty clean. It would be nice if grml could achive something similar, or are there any good reasons against this? Sebastian

grml-debootstrap into a plain directory
by T o n g 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi, Is it ok to use a plain directory as the '--target' parameter for grml-debootstrap? Seems so to me according to the grml-debootstrap(8) and the debootstrap/config file. But this is what I get: * Running grml-debootstrap on a directory, nothing to mount. * Running grml-debootstrap on a directory, nothing to mount. * Error: /lfs/cache12/systems/distros/test-sys not mounted, can not con [ !! ] Ps, I'm using the lastest grml-debootstrap released today: $ apt-cache policy grml-debootstrap grml-debootstrap: Installed: 0.20 Candidate: 0.20 Version table: *** 0.20 0 683 http://deb.grml.org grml-testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

grml and grml64 on one CD?
by Thorsten Strusch 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi! I have several i386 and amd64 debian servers. So I have to use grml-medium and grml64-medium CDs. It would be great, if I can have just one CD/DVD with both versions on it. How can I achieve this? Is grml-live able to produce such an multiarch CD? Or if I could change /live to /live64 for grml64, I could use syslinux to select the version to boot... thanks for your help Thorsten

CF card not detected in PCMCIA adapter
by John Magolske 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

I have a CF card plugged into a SanDisk CompactFlash PC Card Adapter inserted into the PCMCIA slot of an X40 ThinkPad running grml 1.1 (installed to hard disk). The CF card shows up fine when used in conjunction with a USB cardreader or an ide-CF adapter. But with the PCMCIA adapter it doesn't seem to be detected; the CF card does not show up under /dev/disk/by-id. Booting the machine with the CF-card/PCMCIA-adapter inserted causes the boot process to hang at "Waiting for /dev to be populated..." Booting first then inserting the CF-card/PCMCIA-adapter I see: % dmesg ... pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 cs: memory probe 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff: excluding 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff cs: memory probe 0xd0200000-0xdfffffff: excluding 0xd0200000-0xd11fffff 0xd1a00000-0xd21fffff 0xd2a00000-0xd31fffff 0xd3a00000-0xd81fffff 0xd8a00000-0xd91fffff 0xd9a00000-0xda1fffff 0xdaa00000-0xdb1fffff 0xdba00000-0xdc1fffff 0xdca00000-0xdd1fffff 0xdda00000-0xde1fffff 0xdea00000-0xdf1fffff 0xdfa00000-0xe01fffff pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 scsi0 : pata_pcmcia ata1: PATA max PIO0 cmd 0x00013100 ctl 0x0001310e bmdma 0x00000000 irq 3 ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA7:PIO5 ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x4) ata1: EH pending after completion, repeating EH (cnt=4) % pccardctl -v ls Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:00.0) Configuration: state: on ready: unknown Voltage: 3.3V Vcc: 3.3V Vpp: 0.0V Socket 0 Device 0: [pata_pcmcia] (bus ID: 0.0) Configuration: state: on Product Name: SanDisk SDP 5/3 0.6 Identification: manf_id: 0x0045 card_id: 0x0401 function: 4 (fixed disk) prod_id(1): "SanDisk" (0x7a954bd9) prod_id(2): "SDP" (0x91844b1c) prod_id(3): "5/3 0.6" (0xaac4295b) prod_id(4): --- (---) Searching the net I found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116613 Thanks for any help or suggestions, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact
