One question, is the "kqemu" kernel module included for backward
compatible reason? I think KVM can provide drop in replacement for kqemu
and is much better, is it?

cheers

Jepp. (Or if you already use for example Virtualbox which doesn't
allow using KVM at the same time then.)

Sure, but KVM might not work for everyone. :)

Hi!
We have new release candidates: the first release candidate of
version 2009.10 codename "Hello-Wien" is available!

Hi

I have a new amd64 from DNUK with Ubuntu Jaunty pre-installed so I've
been experimenting with grml64 "Hello-Wien". It installs to the second
hard drive no problem provided lilo is used as the boot-loader. I
installed lilo to the mbr.

When I ran grml2hd with grub2 as the boot-loader it seems that
grub-install never ran as when it came to reboot I was presented with
the lilo graphic and it had to freeze on the default choice. Running
grub-install /dev/sdb from a chroot fixed it but prior to this the
device.map file read

(hd0) /dev/vda

and there were no .mod files in /boot/grub in /dev/sdb1

By the way the all-in-one addon was no help as it is only geared to
the old grub and grub2 has no menu.lst file, as you know.

Thanks for all the continued efforts.

I've finished Law and Medicine,
And sadly even Theology:
Taken fierce pains, from end to end.
Now here I am, a fool for sure!

Erm... The all-in-one disk includes both Grub1 and Grub2 - you can load
Grub2 (0.96) from within Grub1. There you can type "configfile" and
(hopefully) load your Grub config :)

In addition, in 2009.10-rc1 you can try to boot MirBSD but then go back
to GRML from the boot menu, which will bring you to Grub2 as well.

Hope this helps,

Michael

Thanks for mentioning that, Michael.

One further additional note: the stable release will provide direct
access to Grub2 and Grub1 through the Addons menu in the bootsplash:
