V3.4-2004-05-10 (small updates)

[j.drake]

Whoa, hangon, not so fast. It just turned midnight and my clock went stupid again! Was an hour ahead, and showing Tokyo (I'm near Dallas CDT), tried to change it, it switched to UDF, reset zone, then time changed, then it was Tokyo again, adjusted back to CDT, went back to UDF, I put it back to Chicago, It reset time correctly, clicked apply, and the time is still wrong. Apparently the the time fix for version 2004-05-10 works except for just after midnight.

Now, where is the bug page for 05-10?

The one thing I realy miss is the integrated installer, I use Knoppix at school to quickly install my favorite distro with graphical interface etc.
For the rest Great job!

Have you tried changing /etc/localtime to point to your timezone, and then adjusting the time (or syncing with a time server)? It worked for me before...

Now, where is the bug page for 05-10?

I'm looking for that too...

Was added to some patch to kernel 2.6.5 compiled for the Knoppix (bootsplash, acpi, etc) ?

Not directly. I assumed that by right clicking the clock and following the menus I would be doing the same thing. Bear in mind also that the clock behaved flawlessly until midnight local time, then all H broke loose, and it suddenly started behaving as if it were the 05-04 release.

OK, with the 2.4.x kernel, everything works fine. With the 2.6 kernel, the multimedia apps are broken (kscd, xine, etc). I can't play cd's with either app. And my mouse wheel doesn't work with 2.6.

Hi

as with the first 3.4 release I am not able to boot 2 PC's with the 2.6 kernel. Both of them boot properly with the 2.4 kernel.
With 2.6 the PC's freeze completely (not even Ctrl-Alt-Del work) on the network adapter:
...
Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP
...
Both PC's have a Netgear FA310-TX card (DEC 2114x) which has worked with Xandros, Debian and Mandrake 10(with 2.6 kernel). With the 2.4 kernels it usually used the tulip driver from D.Becker but with Knoppix 3.4 and kernel 2.4 it actually uses:
...
eth0: DC21140 at 0xec00 (PCI bus 0, device 9), h/w address 00:40:05:42:c3:40,
and requires IRQ15 (provided by PCI BIOS).
de4x5.c:V0.546 2001/02/22 [email protected]
...
Will get Mandrake 10 back on one of these to see what they are using in their 2.6 kernel.
P.S. Mandrake 10 is using the tulip driver:
....
Linux Tulip driver version 1.1.13 (May 11, 2002)
PCI: Found IRQ 15 for device 0000:00:09.0
tulip0: EEPROM default media type Autosense.
tulip0: Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21140 MII PHY (1) block.
tulip0: MII transceiver #0 config 1000 status 782d advertising 01e1.
eth0: Digital DS21140 Tulip rev 34 at 0xec00, 00:40:05:42:C3:40, IRQ 15.
....

I get the same issue when booting Knoppix 2.6 kernel inside Microsoft Virtual PC (which uses a virtual tulip card)

This small update fixed the lilo 99 issue when installing to HD. I have a dual boot with WinXP and Knoppix26 on a Dell 7500 laptop. Now all I need is to get my Atheros wifi working.

To get your Atheros card working see the following and subscribe to the madwifi mailing list.

2.6's hardware detection isnt quite yet as good as the 2.4 series. but it will improve, and it goes faster than ever

patience my friend...
