First Release Candidate of Grml version 2012.05 released
Hi,
so we did it again, the first release candidate of the upcoming version 2012.05, code-named 'Ponyhof' was just released.
For detailed information about the changes between 2011.12 and 2012.05 have a look at the official release announcement:
http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2012.05-rc1/
Several tools that have been reported to be missing on the downsized 2011.12 release have been re-added. This release also brings the grml-small flavour back to life.
Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and report back, so we can complete the stable release soon. If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for end of May.
regards, -mika-

Hi Michael,
Seems bnx2 firmware is missong. I did try it on a Dell R510 (poweredge). Only the addin NICS were recognized (not the onboard ones).
Cheers,
Laurent

Verfied, thanks a lot for the bugreport, I'll re-include the firmware in the next version of the Grml linux-image again.

Hi Michael,
Another issue.
mdadm is either too old or too new. It doesn't allow creating bitmaps on arrays with 1.2 style superblocks.
Cheers.

Does upgrading mdadm to v3.2.4-1 via running the following commands on Grml 2012.05-rc1:
echo "deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian unstable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list apt-get update apt-get install mdadm
fix this issue?

I did in fact take the mdadm binary from another linux system (squeeze) with success.
Any other mdadm version should make it since this is a known bug.
Cheers,
Laurent

Ok great, thanks.
I pinged Michael Tokarev (uploader of recent mdadm versions in Debian), he might upload the new 3.2.5 upstream release to Debian/unstable later today.

Addon, I stumbled upon http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673104
So AFAICT we want to see mdadm 3.2.5 in our Grml stable release, can someone maybe verify that?
