Hi,
"The next stable release is expected for march 2009." (http://grml.org/
roadmap/)
Will it be out soon? Any pending issues or show-stoppers?
thanks.

In the last days I was hunting a very annoying bug preventing our build system to build recent daily ISOs:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520989 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=521863
Talking about show-stoppers: yeah, we've some:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/c37ucu [1]
The most important one is the kernel issue: should we think about re-enabling PATA support? I guess it might be worth a try to start a poll for this issue, so we developers have more feedback about what our users need. (I won't tell my personal opinion about this issue before the poll finished. ;))
Any help in resolving the release-stoppers is highly welcome of course. Coding as well as testing. :)
[1] Sorry for using tinyurl, I'm not a friend of it but the URL is *really* too long. ;) I'll set up an according redirect for the future on our webserver...

Thanks for the answers, mika.

PATA is disabled? Does it mean that IDE / ATA HD is not supported currently by grml? I don't know exactly what it means to disable PATA, but please, please do support IDE/ATA, because there are tons of exiting PCs still using nothing but IDE/ATA.
Thanks

Not if the new libata drivers are enabled in the kernel instead of the old IDE drivers, which I have been informed on other mailing lists are now regarded as legacy code.
Thanks for the reply.

Then for people who only have IDE hard disks (not SATA), what should they do to use the HD?
thanks

It's still supported but it appears as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc., with the new drivers.

You may have know it already -- the bug was merged with #518921, which was fixed on 9 Mar 2009, and installed in the Debian archive on 26 Mar 2009.

Yeah, thanks. It's just not for Debian/etch though. (The fix was to upgrade to 2.6.29 for now.)

hmm... I only find linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64 by now for kernels 2.6.29. Is there a grml version for v2.6.29?
On page, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518921 it says that the bug is fixed in linux-2.6 2.6.26-14, and patches are included for kernels 2.6.27.20 and 2.6.28.8.
I mean, has linux-image-2.6.28-grml* been patched yet?
thank

Yes.

No. 2.6.29 provides squashfs in mainline, though lacks lzma compression currently. We'll release grml 2009.0X with kernel 2.6.28-grml which is known to work fine.

It will receive the patch with update to 2.6.28.8 soon.
