[Grml] GRML does not boot on all machines since version 2008-11

[Hermann]

Hi,
since version 2008-11 I cannot boot the live CD anymore on one of my
machines - my desktop computer - a PC bought at the German computer
store Vobis. They use noname components, but the computer contains an
AMD Duron processor of 1 Ghz and has 256 MB RAM.
All former GRML-Versions, including the 2008-11 release candidate did
boot well.
On my notebook - Acer 1600, Intel processor 2,7 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, I can
boot every GRML CD.
After taking a long time, the CD seems to hang, and because I'm blind, I
cannot check out what is written on the screen.
Is there a way to redirect the output, for example to a file on a floppy
drive?
And, most important, waht is the reason for this?
I use the GRML CDs to backup and restore my systems via partimage.
Any hints?
Hermann

Please give 2009.05-rc1 a try and report feedback whether if works
for you or not. If it doesn't work please provide output of lspci of
a grml version which works for you (or even better execute
grml-hwinfo on a running and working grml system and mail me the
resulting info.tar.bz2).

Because you're blind: what are you usually using? brltty? speakup?

I forgot to mention that this also does not work on my desktop machine.

OK, I'll send it to you with the next mail (I guess that I cannot send
it to the list).

Mainly Brltty, and sometimes Suse-Blinux.
But I read about Espeakup, which I did miss before 2009-05-rc1, so I
retested Speakup. I used it on former GRML-Versions, but dropped it
because of that Umlaut stuff (see my mail on that).
