Known issues:
1. SIS900 network card:
   sis900 client does NOT work with pxelinux >=3.07 simple menu, you WON'T see this:
   http://drbl.nchc.org.tw/redhat/desktop/images/syslinux_drbl.jpg
   The client will hang before this.
   It's reported to:
   http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-April/005030.html

   For the time being, you can just modify the /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default, change "default menu.c32" to "default drbl" or other mode (local, fdos...)  you want. The makes clients can boot to that mode without PXE Linux simple menu.

2. Clonezilla still won't be able to save and restore LVM partitions. Maybe in the future.

3. In Mandrake 9.2, the dos2unix rpm is not signed properly, this will result in failing to install other required rpm packages when executing "drblsrv -i".
   Solution:
   Install dos2unix before running "drblsrv -i" by
   rpm -ivh http://free.nchc.org.tw/mandrake/official/9.2/contrib/i586/dos2unix-0.8.1-2mdk.i586.rpm

4. Some distribution does not install perl-Digest-SHA1. If rpm complains perl-Digest-SHA1 is required, you have to install perl-Digest-SHA1 first. For FC1, install it like:
   rpm -Uvh http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/perl-Digest-SHA1-2.01-15.i386.rpm

5. OpenSuSE 10.0
   Kernel 2.6.13-15-default in the DRBL server has some BIG problems with NFS lockd. It will cause client won't run OpenOffice.org, rpm, clonezilla and other programs successfully.
   Errors are like:
   a. OpenOffice.org
   -----
   Unable to start it or save file
   -----
   b. rpm:
   -----
   linux102:~ # rpm -q drbl
   error: cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
   error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
   error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
   package drbl is not installed
   -----
   c. clonezilla/partimage:
   -----
   imagefile locked
   The following imagefile is locked.
   Do you want to wait and retry or change image filename ?
   File: /mnt/test.000                                     
   To change the filename, please enter a full path        
   (location + filename) without volume number at the end, 
   and press "Change"                 
   -----

   Solution:
   1. Use different kernel in the server, 
      a. the update kernel
         rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/SuSE/i386/update/10.0/rpm/i586/kernel-default-2.6.13-15.7.i586.rpm
      or 
      b. 2.6.11.4-20a-default from SuSE 9.3 is also tested ok.
      Then reboot the server.
   2. Check the bugzilla
      https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=128784
      for more details.
