• 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'.

• The windows directory shipped with previous releases (providing putty, pscp,…) had to be removed (due to lack of space, as mentioned in the release notes), though the link to the windows directory is still present in GRML/index.html on the ISO.

• 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 'grml642ram' 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.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).

• Due to the migration from nessus to openvas and lack of openvas-plugins (see #532937) the grml-nessus script does not work currently. Workaround: install the openvas-client and openvas-server packages and manually download the openvas-plugins from openvas.org.
