Hi
after having successfully installed kernel 2.6.18-grml and a sarge base configuration via the grml-skript I have stopped working on this notebook. Now I take up on this again : It loads only few modules, so no network, no periphery: just the 6 shells and the ipv6 module is loaded.
/sys/module is rather empty : about 15 modules are listed , for HDD, CDROM and video, while at the funkentzutzler there are 74 modules listed. the line "populating /dev" does not show up in dmesg when doing the boot.
It seems that some skripts must be added to my installation to get the kernel scan its periphery.
a shortened diff ps(grml0.8,left) ps(kernel2.6.18-grml+sarge,right) is added:

From the process numbers I see that a lot of transient processes did not
happen on my install, and usb-storage, cqueued, loop0, udevd do not exist thereafter.
best regards
