Knoppix Version 3.4 Released

[JockVSJock]

I just d/l Knoppix 3.4 from linuxiso.org and it had 2.6.6 kernel.

Burned iso to disk and have booted into 2.6 kernel just as a test run, and everytime I boot, it lock up the screen. I can move the mouse and that is about it.

Anyone else experience this? I am doing this with a very new laptop.

thanks

I think that depends upon the VMWare version. Doing what you suggested I was also able to install the version 4.0.5 but not the newer 4.5.1 which gave me an error:

make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only'
bridge.c: In function `VNetBridgeReceiveFromVNet':
bridge.c:346: structure has no member named `sk_wmem_alloc'
make: *** [bridge.o] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only'
Unable to build the vmnet module.

Never mind ... the version 4.0.5 works fine.

I changed "sk_wmem_alloc" to "wmem_alloc" within the vmnet.tar (-> bridge.c) and then it runs fine. (There exist a compability macro to do this automatically but it seems not to work proper)

I can't start a new topic, but anybody knows where I can buy this new DVD version? I think Knoppix.net should sell it right on their site - I want to buy this DVD from the Knoppix team directly to support the development.

The Subject doesn't show up (but why it is there then?). What I wanted was this:

KNOPPIX 3.5 LinuxTag 2004 DVD Edition

Who knows where I can get it (other than going to Linux Tag 2004)?

Looks like it is pretty clear that linux-tag is the only way. Maybe one of our German friends can translate the linux-tag website and see if they will be available for purchace. I would like a copy of this one myself! In the mean time here is a link to an iso that you can download in the DVD forum. It seems to be based on 3.4 Cebit. I am working on a dvd remaster myself. But I am still a noob and I am learning how to tweak the window managers. The menus start to get a little cluttered with 5 gigs of stuff

"The 3.5 DVD is *exclusively* available on LinuxTag for 10€ and comprises the DVD, a Day-Ticket and one LixuxTag pin."

I think this means another Knoppix 3.4 with kernel 2.6.7

A Linux (news - web sites) bug was recently uncovered by a young Norwegian programmer that, when exploited by a simple C program, could crash most Linux 2.4 or 2.6 distributions running on an x86 architecture.

Torvalds already has the problem well in hand, he said. "I fixed it in my [source code] tree a few days ago, so it's in the current snapshots, and if I wasn't in the middle of a move [to Portland, Ore.] I'd have released a 2.6.7 already. As it is, I'll hopefully have it done by tomorrow [June 15].

Looks like it says the same thing in German as it does in English

As I re-posted in the v3.4 C't Edition thread, there is still a problem with the 2.6 kernel boot process which will look for the Knoppix CD on IDE bus when it's really on the SCSI bus.

Is there anyway to force it to look on hte SCSI bus or do I need to copy the CD to the hard disk and have it look/run from there? TIA.
