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.
+
 
+
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
+

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

This seems to be related to the unionfs snapshot from 26.5.05, and links in the menu structure when calling "update-menus". The latest snapshot still has this bug. Until there is a solution for this, we are reverting to unionfs 1.0.11. --[[User:KlausKnopper|KlausKnopper]] Sun Jun 12 23:41:14 CEST 2005
+
 
+
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)
+
 
+
Actually, this isn't the case. Knoppix 3.9 seems to boot well on all USB DVD-Writers, CD-Roms etc. On which external USB drive did that problem occur? --[[User:KlausKnopper|KlausKnopper]] Sun Jun 12 23:41:14 CEST 2005
+
 
+
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.
+
 
+
Also, this seems to work here: ub for USB flash memory and usb-storage for writers. --[[User:KlausKnopper|KlausKnopper]] Sun Jun 12 23:41:14 CEST 2005
+
 
+
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!!

+
Well, PCI IDs for the pcitable, please? --[[User:KlausKnopper|KlausKnopper]] Sun Jun 12 23:41:14 CEST 2005
+
 
+
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. 
+
 
+
Bug in kicker/3.4.0. Working on it. --[[User:KlausKnopper|KlausKnopper]] Sun Jun 12 23:41:14 CEST 2005
+
 
+
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, [[http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18245 see this topic]].

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

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).

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)
+
 
+
11) No connection to internet via ISDN with FritzCard 2.0 PCI, with both possibilities.
+
 
+
12) Does not boot on DELL Latitude D400
+
The only KNOPPIX that ever booted on DELL D400 was 3.6.
+
All earlier and later versions do not find a KNOPPIX filesystem (written in red) and drop to a basic shell.
+
Pity: we all use company-supplied D400 here and are stuck at 3.6.
