• Take a look at the problems webpage in the grml-wiki and the release notes.

• When booting grml inside qemu does not work please try booting with 'grml noapic', if that still fails try booting with 'failsafe'.

• When booting via PXE the /etc/resolv.conf is not set up accordingly due to use of resolvconf. Reported and bugfix by Andreas Thienemann. Solution for users:
  • The netboot packages include the fix already.
  • If you don't use the provided netboot packages just execute 'au ; agi live-initramfs' before starting grml-terminalserver.

• When booting via PXE and using 'poweroff' the system isn't powered off issue677. Reported and bugfix by Andreas Thienemann. Fixed with upload of grml-etc 1.1.16.

• When selecting the 'grml64-medium2ram' bootoption it fails with: “Target Filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init. /init: line 233: 6: Bad file descriptor”. Bug reported by Wernfried Haas and Frank Prochnow (issue680). Fixed with grml2usb 0.9.7. Fix:
  • either upgrade to grml2usb 0.9.7, or
  • use 'grml toram=grml64-medium.squashfs' on the bootprompt

• The menus of flubox and pekwm list the unavailable browser named Dillo (issue681). Dillo was replaced with xlinks2. Bug reported by Frank Prochnow. Fix: manually invoke xlinks2 instead of dillo (for example via invoking from x-terminal).
