Just to keep you informed: we planned to release the new stable grml versions during this weekend. Due to local root exploits in the Linux kernel we decided to work on an updated kernel version. So please stay tuned a little bit further, we expect to be able to provide the final stable release within the next few days. Sorry for the delays, but hopefully we can provide a rocking stable release really soon now.

A new full-featured version of 2.6.20-grml (revision grml.04) is available in the grml-testing pool. It's based on 2.6.20.6 and I plan to use it as stable kernel for the new develrelease grml 0.9-7, the upcoming grml 1.0-rc1 and the final stable version as well if everything works as expected. It's already integrated within my latest devel-ISO and I'm working on the last few issues on the todolist. Expect to get a new develrelease within the next few days.... Same applies to grml64 and grml-small as well... Now going back to work...

A first version of kernel 2.6.20-grml is available:
Linux grml 2.6.20-grml #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 8 00:15:11 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
Some external, extra modules are missing currently (compare with grml.org/kernel/) due to API changes. Anyway, I'd like to base grml 1.0 on kernel 2.6.20-grml so expect several updates in the next few weeks.

A new version of 2.6.18-grml is available (take a look at the kernel repository for details). This should become the final version of 2.6.18-grml so it will be available in the grml repository soon. A last few tests will take place, some docs have to be updated and then a first release-candidate of grml 0.9 will be available to the public.

An updated version of kernel 2.6.18-grml is available. The patchlist for 2.6.18-grml:
1000_2.6.18.1.patch
2500_via-irq-quirk-revert.patch
4005_sky2-v1.9.patch

5002_linux-2.6.17-commandline.patch
As you might notice reiser4 is not part of the kernel (and unless there's an official patch this won't change for the upcoming grml-release). The external modules lufs, nozomi, thinkpad and vaiostat don't compile against 2.6.18 yet, the rest of the work has been done. I'm already running grml 0.8-3d with this kernel version. A new develrelease will be available within the next few days...

I wrote a buildsystem for grml-kerneladdons which allows me to build the appropriate package for every single kernel version of grml much faster now. So you can grab grml-kerneladdons for the first release of 2.6.18-grml already. Notice that the package is named grml-kerneladdons-2.6.18. This provides the possibility to install several kernelpackages at the same time without any conflicts. The package includes tpm-emulator and ipw3945 as well now.

A first version of 2.6.18-grml is available:
grml@grml ~ % uname -a
Linux grml 2.6.18-grml #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 22 20:37:07 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Notice: the current version does not include ipw3945 and reiser4 yet. Due to API changes several external modules don't build yet, I'm working on it. Please report any problems you notice and if you have feature requests for the grml-kernel feel free to contact me!

Kernel 2.6.17-grml just hit the grml-repository, so you can run 'apt-get update; apt-get install linux-image-2.6.17-grml $MODULES_YOU_LIKE' to install it.
The brand new fglrx-driver version 8.27.10 is available as well, just run 'apt-get update ; apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-kernel-2.6.17-grml' to install it.
If you notice any problems please feel free to report them!

The final build of 2.6.17-grml is available. It's based on 2.6.17.7, including some more patches and supports SMP and reiser4. I could manage to build all extra modules as well. If you want to install the debian packages before they are going into the grml-repository get them from the usual place.
The kernel is integrated and running with(in) current grml-build 0.7-5f. A new develrelease will be available within the next few days. Then we'll have the big find-bugs-and-report-them-so-we-can-fix-them week before grml 0.8 is available as a new stable release.
