is still not fixed in 5.01, because of a a typo in the knoppix-autoconfig file:
+
wrong:  ext3|ext3|reiserfs|xfs) MOUNTOPTS="$MOUNTOPTS,noatime" ;;
+
correct: ext2|ext3|reiserfs|xfs) MOUNTOPTS="$MOUNTOPTS,noatime" ;;
+
Please find a diff in here:

+
BTW, I found a work around fix, cf:

2)knoppix splash cheatcode doesn't work, it worked with 4.0.2 version.
+
 
+
3)difficulty to boot on some (recent) laptop: needs to use noudev and sometimes
+
  nompcmcia to start, but Konsole failed start, complain that no tty are available.
+
WORKARUND: On a PB laptop, I manage to start without passing noudev, progress bar of autoconfiguring devices don't stop but by key pressing [CTRL c] twice, boot process continue.
+
After an HD install, need to put rt2500usb in blacklist
+
 
+
4)boot process is horribly slow if a pci card with rt2500 WLAN chipset is plugged
+
  and failed on DHCP request, no problem on Cebit 5.0: card is well recognise.
+
 
+
5)printing impossible (report from forums.knoppix-fr.org)
+
 
+
6)module compilation is not possible (out of the box), have to have a look deeply
+
  (maybe problem with header or some links to them)
+
  Some more info: This is probably related with the Debian [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368544 bug #368544] as the parts missing
+
in the headers are those supposed to be in a newcomer linux-kbuild package
+
 
+
7)[INSTALL] mount with removable media,
+
"Please change the -u knoppix and -g knoppix in
+
/etc/udev/knoppix.rules, either to match the "primary user", or just
+
remove them."

8) CD-Burning with an external USB device is broken.
+
as i posted in the forum  http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24784
+
there are some messages from cdrecord in the k3b failure report
+
about missing entrys in /dev one of them about /dev/sg0 ...
+
i looked for what was there in 4.0.2CD and found this:
+

+
after creating /dev/sg0 with mknod ( using mknod without beeing absolutely sure
+
what you are doing can lead to deleting all your data on harddisk or even worse )
+
at least k3b simulation started working ...
+
i will do a real burning test later ...

+
9) ipw2200 v1.1.1 (the one in kernel 2.6.17) relies on firmware 3.0 while
+
the Knoppix package ipw2200-nonfree only contain older firmwares.
+
Please update ipw2200-nonfree, cf
+
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
+
 
+
10) Setting the timezone does not work. KDE's time applet requires the root
+
password (should probably use ksudo instead).
+
Workaround: sudo vi /etc/timezone,  
+
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Continent/City /etc/zoneinfo.
+
 
+
11) Mounting of a PCMCIA flash drive works only once. After remove/insert of the card,
+
the following error message appears: "mount:Gerätedatei /dev/hde1 existiert nicht" (rol).
+
 
+
12) Improvement: the CD and DVD editions miss the p7zip package.
+
If you compress a tar archive of the Knoppix root filesystem, the result
+
is 20% smaller than the one produced by bzip2. Definitely useful!
+
 
+
13) Improvement: the CD and DVD editions miss the ccache package
+
(102 KB install size). This compiler cache is the best way to recompile
+
big projects (like the Linux kernel) in a much faster way.
+
 
+
14) To use SD cards it currently is necessary to manually ''modprobe mmc_block''.
+
 
+
15) Improvement: If possible include new ''ipw3945'' WLAN module.
+
 
+
16) I use a working CD (tested on other computers). On my computer, Knoppix stops
+
with the message "can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry, dropping you to a (very
+
limited) shell..", just as the bug 15 of Knoppix 5.0DVD. Anyway the boot option
+
nodma does not make things work. I have found no workaround. I have got a SATA
+
CDROM/DVD drive (Plextor 712SA).
+
16b?) Can't burn, and DVD-reader access are very slow on laptop with ICH6 SATA controler
+
Workaround (after HD install):
+
 
+
''echo "options libata atapi_enabled=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/libata''
+
 
+
''mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-test''
+
 
+
Then modify your boot config (/boot/grub/menu.lst for grub) to adapt your initrd like:
+
''initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-test''
+
 
+
And add to your kernel options (append):
+
 
+
''ide1=noprobe''
+
 
+
17) X won't work on some systems when using Knoppix CD 5 or Knoppix CD 4.
+
Tried on five different systems, three notebooks, two desktop systems,
+
but xorg's X failed to start and complained about missing files. Integrity
+
of CD tested and okay.
+
 
+
18) In KNOPPIX_V5.0.1CD-2006-06-01-DE.iso (MD5 checked OK) *boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
+
is corrupt or hash is wrong in md5sums file.
+
 
+
19) Apache2 returns "Partial Content" when accessing a local (127.0.0.1) page.
+
Small files works, larger files (> Mtu ??) not.
+
See http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25639
+
 
+
20)(may be the same as 1): Knoppix 5.0.1, English CD download, failed to mount the hard drives on a Dell Dimension 5100, which has a second  SATA hard drive installed for backup. It worked fine if I disabled the second hard drive from the BIOS setup.
+

+
 
+
21) (same as 3): Knoppix 5.0.1, English CD download, failed to boot on an HP Pavilion zv5120us laptop, unmodified except for extra memory. The hangup was on the fourth line, "looking for CD in /dev/hdc". Knoppix 4.0 boots fine on the same machine. The copy of 5.0.1 should be OK as it boots on the Dell, see 20.
+

+
22) The !cal command does not work in a continuous manner. In fact it works about
+
40% - 60% of the time when done consecutively. !ls and !top work without issue, but
+
there seems to be a glitch in the !cal command when using the Knoppix 5.0.1 CD.
