since version 2008-11 I cannot boot the live CD anymore on one of my machines - my desktop computer - a PC bought at the German computer store Vobis. They use noname components, but the computer contains an AMD Duron processor of 1 Ghz and has 256 MB RAM. All former GRML-Versions, including the 2008-11 release candidate did boot well. On my notebook - Acer 1600, Intel processor 2,7 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, I can boot every GRML CD. After taking a long time, the CD seems to hang, and because I'm blind, I cannot check out what is written on the screen. Is there a way to redirect the output, for example to a file on a floppy drive? And, most important, waht is the reason for this? I use the GRML CDs to backup and restore my systems via partimage. Any hints?
Please give 2009.05-rc1 a try and report feedback whether if works for you or not.
I forgot to mention that this also does not work on my desktop machine.
If it doesn't work please provide output of lspci of a grml version which works for you (or even better execute grml-hwinfo on a running and working grml system and mail me the resulting info.tar.bz2).
OK, I'll send it to you with the next mail (I guess that I cannot send it to the list).
Because you're blind: what are you usually using? brltty? speakup?
Mainly Brltty, and sometimes Suse-Blinux. But I read about Espeakup, which I did miss before 2009-05-rc1, so I retested Speakup. I used it on former GRML-Versions, but dropped it because of that Umlaut stuff (see my mail on that). Hermann
