What do you mean with grml-mini? grml-small or grml-medium? :)
Which version exactly are you talking about?

scsi=probe is deprecated at least for grml-medium.
Which bootoptions are you using for "booting from HDD"?
Can you please provide the steps you did so far?

> Do you have any Idea which Module brings the CCISS Support on the CD?

CCISS is behind behing kernel config CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA, what's
compiled statically into the grml kernel - so that shouldn't be the
issue.

Does "dmraid -r" output anything when grml is booted in live-mode?
If so your device requires dmraid support (which *should* be
supported by grml and grml-medium but *not* by the initrd of
grml-small).

Strange.

Can you be a bit more precise about what you mean with 
nothing?

Do you have the snd-hda-intel (or snd_hda_intel) module 
loaded?
Kind regards

Ah, great for pointing me into the right direction, Michael. :)

http://hg.grml.org/grml-etc/rev/1f231de1a8c7 hopyfully addresses the

It cannot find the "halt" binary because you already removed the CD.
http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue384

Workarounds: Use noeject bootoption (so that the CD is not ejected 
before reboot), or ensure that you have called the reboot or halt binary 
(depending on what you want to do) immediately before shutdown, for 
example by using "halt" or "poweroff" instead of
"shutdown -h now". or by calling it "halt --help", so that it is still 
in disk cache.

The same applies for "reboot" vs. "shutdown -r now".


Hope that helps,

Looks like some sectors on the CD are defect.
Please check the CD with 'readcd -c2scan ...'
- see http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=problems

The sysrq magic might work around your issue anyway,
try pressing "Alt + SysRq (Print Screen) + S U B".

[Grml] [grml] grml 1.1 shutdown will fail

2008-03-10 Thread Michael Wittke

Hello,

batch your pardon for asking for your help.

I have just downloaded the grml 1.1 iso und burned a live cd for playing
a little bit with your nice tool. The cd starts and everything works fine. 
There also is no fault, when I start the cd with the grml testcd boot option. 
My PC has an ASUS Mainbord with an Intel Pentium III Processor.

When I shutdown the PC (with shutdown -h now) the PC will hang when
the cd is ejected and I have to disconnect the power to be able to
restart the PC. I have no idea what went wrong. 

On the monitor are the following error massages:

 end-request: I/O error,dev hdc, sector 114876
 hdc: tray open
 (there are a lot of this massages with different sector numbers)

 SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [2918b2b]
 SQUASHFS errror: Unable to read page block 2918b2b, seize 5811

 /etc/init.d/halt: line 65: /sbin/halt: cannot execute binery file

 INIT: no more process left in this runlevel.

 Any suggestions how to solve the problem?

Can you post the output of amixer?

This is a bug in the snd-hda-intel sound driver, 
unfortunately you need to unload it before shutting down, 
this is a known bug and will hopefully get fixed soon by 
upstream.

Kind regards

[Grml] Problems with CCISS/HP Smart Array E200

2008-03-10 Thread t . richter
Hello All!

I have a small Problem with the cciss SCSI Support on GRML.
I have read all the Docs i could find but without success.

My Plan is to use GRML-Mini as a Rescue System on a seperate Partition.
If i start from the CD everything is fine. The Partitions under 
/dev/cciss/c0d0pX are found. But i cant figure out what module provides the 
cciss Support.
If i start GRML from HDD the Kernel is booting but can't find the Iso.
I tried the Kernelparameter scsi=probe. But no Module is found.

Do you have any Idea which Module brings the CCISS Support on the CD?

TIA for any Help!

Best Regards

Thomas Richter

Can you please provide us output of "hwinfo --disk" (the optimum
would be output of grml as well as Debian).

I think you have another libata<->PATA regression, we are working on
that - experimental builds are available at
http://grml.org/2.6.25/
