Revision as of 02:15, 10 June 2005

List V3.9 2005-05-27 bugs here

1.) It seems that v3.9's UnionFS has broken Debian package management. To reproduce the bug: Boot Knoppix V3.9, download a package & install it.

wget http://debian.mirrors.pair.com/pool/main/a/aterm/aterm_0.4.2-11_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i aterm_0.4.2-11_i386.deb

--UnderScore 20:02, 3 Jun 2005 (GMT)

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

--Nosknoppix 12:21, 6 Jun 2005 (GMT)

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>. --PopeFelix 16:29, 4 Jun 2005 (GMT)

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.

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!!

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.

6.) When shuting the system down, HP ze4610us, the shutdown hangs completely right after sending the kill signal.

7.) I have not tried my usb flash drive but will next to see if the ub driver problem above hits me as well

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, [see this topic].

9.) Unable to boot: kernel Oops PREEMPT SMP on dual 231MHz Pentium Pro server, "balboa" class (BIOS:

 AMIBIOS (C) AMI 02/02/1995 Date:-02/02/95
 BIOS Version 0.04.05.DA0  Beta 5.04 Production Candidate )

Runs RedHat 7.3, 8.0, 9; boots Debian sarge netinst and Fedora Core 3 installer OK. "boot: knoppix lang=us nopcmcia noagp noapm nomce noddc" produces "You passed an undefined mode number ..." [for VGA] Selecting any of modes 80x25, 80x34, 80x43, 80x50 then gives:

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