1) The ext2 persistent home bug (ext2 partitions not recognized properly)
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:
http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/knoppix-autoconfig.diff
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.
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 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:

ll /dev/sg*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  0 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  1 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg1

crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  3 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg3
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  4 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg4
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  5 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg5
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  6 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg6
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  7 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg7
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  8 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg8
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 21,  9 2001-08-24 01:32 /dev/sg9

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
For better hardware compatibility please also make sure to add

echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout

somewhere before automatic hw detection of the ipw2200 card.
cf http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#issues
Otherwise e.g. on Dell D610 firmware upload fails with the Knoppix 5.0.1 
(and the correct firmware 3.0)
