  • ALBUS-5853, ALBUS-5854 - There are some issues supporting some network interface cards (mainly PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller from Realtek Semiconductor). The machine cannot get an IP address. The fix requires upgrading the kernel. In the meantime, there is a workaround: boot the machine using e.g. the booting option "Show startup messages" or "Safe resolution" and let the FLR procedure happen after pressing the "Erase" button.
  • ALBUS-5946 - During the testing of ALBUS-5864 (support for Sanitize Overwrite on ATA HDDs), we noticed that this command can take a long time to complete (from many hours to many days, depending on the size of the drive). If you are using the 6.5.2 and the standard “NIST 800-88 Purge” on an ATA HDD supporting the Sanitize Overwrite command and the erasure takes a surprisingly long time to complete, make sure that you leave the machine erasing and wait until the end of the process to prevent bricking the drive. We are investigating ways to reduce the erasure duration as part of the next release.
