<div>List V3.9 2005-05-27 bugs here<br />
<br />
1.) It seems that [http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=85330#85330 v3.9's UnionFS has broken Debian package management]. To reproduce the bug: Boot Knoppix V3.9, download a package & install it.<br />
<br />
wget http://debian.mirrors.pair.com/pool/main/a/aterm/aterm_0.4.2-11_i386.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i aterm_0.4.2-11_i386.deb<br />
<br />

<br />
Confirmed. Note that apt-get update; apt-get upgrade gets partially through an install before freezing, not all packages trigger this bug.<br />

<br />
2.) The "ub" kernel module is still compiled into the kernel. This prevents Knoppix from booting on USB CD/DVD-ROMs. <a href="http://linux.usc.edu/pipermail/usclug-chat/2004-December/000111.html">This has been known since Linux 2.6.9</a>. --[[User:PopeFelix|PopeFelix]] 16:29, 4 Jun 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
3.) Please config out CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB (the ub driver). This driver has the bizzare side effect of stopping the usb-storage driver from ever seeing a USB device, irrespective of whether the ub module is loaded or not. As PopeFelix noted, this stops knoppix being able to use USB CD/DVD drives. One reason I have switched to kanotix is that absence of the ub driver.<br />
<br />
4.) Please use the "ati" driver for ATI Radeon 7000 based video cards. Mine was detected properly, but the generic "vesa" driver was loaded, so no 3D for me!!<br />

<br />
5.) When I try to go to the System Configuration menu item under Quick Browser the KDE menu bar disappears and I cannot get it to come back. This also happened once when trying to load Firefox, which never loaded. <br />
<br />
6.) When shuting the system down, HP ze4610us, the shutdown hangs completely right after sending the kill signal.<br />
<br />
7.) I have not tried my usb flash drive but will next to see if the ub driver problem above hits me as well<br />
<br />
8.) Unable to boot on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 laptop with a NTFS partition. Boots correctly everywhere with a FAT32 partition on the disk. For more informations and investigations, [[http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18245 see this topic]].<br />
<br />
9.) Unable to boot: kernel Oops PREEMPT SMP on dual 231MHz Pentium Pro server, "balboa" class (BIOS:<br />

This is 100% reproducible, but I got tired of copying down all the numbers.<br />
"boot: failsafe" works, but all I get is a shell and a few commands (no install).<br />

10.) Knoppix always and only tries to load the vesa and fb drivers for X. Even if another driver [e.g. i810] is detected. X worked on most machines in 3.7, but many are broken in 3.9 now. Maybe consider reverting X's config or modifying the script? --[[User:tnm91|tnm91]] 17:29, 10 Jun 2005 (GMT)<br />

11) No connection to internet via ISDN with FritzCard 2.0 PCI, with both possibilities.</div>WolfgangWhttp://ftp.knoppix.net/wiki/Bugs/3.8.2Bugs/3.8.22005-05-22T10:21:17Z<p>WolfgangW: </p>

<div>List V3.8.2 bugs here<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Fails to boot from external USB DVD-CD drive<br />
<br />
Early in boot, it prints : Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem.<br />
and drops into a mini shell. See also bug 6 on page [[Bugs/3.8.1|V3.8.1 bugs]]<br />
<br />
Solution?: Line 363 of linuxrc inside /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz may have two inconsistent extra underscores; "$FOUND_USB$FOUND_FIREWIRE" should likely read "$FOUNDUSB$FOUNDFIREWIRE". Untried. I have no USB-CD. [pbs 20050520]<br />
<br />
2. smbfs has a 2 gigabyte file size limit<br />
<br />
In the 21th century. tsk tsk tsk ...<br />
<br />
Workaround : use cifs instead of smbfs ("modprobe cifs" might be needed)<br />
<br />

<br />
3. Serial mouse is not more detected since first 2.6.x kernel. Actually it is detected as "USB Mouse". <br />
Please try to fix this. (By the way, no problem with Kanotix remastered versions of Knoppix, so it may work). If it is not easy to always automatically detect the mouse what about force detection with a new cheatcode, for example knoppix serialmouse, or knoppix usbmouse etc. (oscar)<br />
<br />
4. The losetup and mount programs have not been patched to support the multi-key setup of loop-aes. From loop-aes README file: "Setting up multi-key gpg key-file and using that key-file with old single-key only aware losetup/mount programs is dangerous." SOLUTION: This can be fixed by replacing the outdated mount-aes package with loop-aes-utils package from Debian. Please also include the aespipe package (installed size is only 88 kB) in KNOPPIX.<br />
<br />
5. boot parameters "noeject noask toram" used together cause a hangup during shutdown. Without "noeject noprompt" machine does a clean poweroff. (jari_heikkinen 20 May 2005)<br />
<br />
6. No connection to internet via ISDN with FritzCard 2.0 PCI, with both possibilities.</div>WolfgangW
