Eelco Dolstra 23d2f02841 * Debug support / quasi-single user mode.

Eelco Dolstra 2cccff268d * Pass the path of the stage 2 init script to stage 1 init through the 
kernel command line, instead of having a /init symlink.  This allows
  us to switch between configurations.
* Some debug support: adding `debug' to the kernel command line gives
  a stage 1 shell.

Eelco Dolstra 183ed7a5ea * Create a symlink to /nix/var/nix/profiles from 
/nix/var/nix/gcroots/, otherwise garbage collection will end
  tragically.

 2006-11-20 20:50:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7bba427e93 * Put the PCI module probing in an Upstart task. We now have 
more-or-less "asynchronous" booting: the login prompt appears almost
  immediately, before the hardware and the network are started.

 2006-11-17 16:29:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ae45d46ed * Put Nixpkgs and the NixOS expressions on the installation CD (the 
installer needs them).

Eelco Dolstra 78b2ed263e * Use exportReferencesGraph everywhere. 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=7063
 2006-11-17 14:13:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 82ce465751 * Use `exportReferencesGraph' to register the references of the 
initial Nix installation correctly.

Eelco Dolstra 49f8402876 * Boot into a fully functional stage 2. 
* Stage 2 init: handle non-read-only roots.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=7014
 2006-11-13 11:41:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b26af2188 * The installer now installs a configuration on the target device that 
boots into stage 1 (kernel+initrd) succesfully.
  
  `system-configuration.nix' contains the definition of the
  configuration to be installed.  The attribute systemConfiguration is
  installed into the profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system.  Then the
  program /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration is
  called to finalise the installation.  This program (generated by
  system-configuration.sh) installs Grub on the drive with a menu that
  contains the entry for the desired kernel and initrd.

  In principle this allows us to do rollbacks to previous system
  configurations by doing `nix-env --rollback' and then calling
  switch-to-configuration to update Grub.  Ideally this should be done
  in a single command (and we should consider the obvious risk of
  garbage collecting the current kernel etc. to which the current Grub
  menu points...).

  Maybe the responsibility for generating the Grub menu should be
  placed somewhere else.  For instance, we could generate a Grub menu
  automatically out of all the generations in the `system' profile.

Eelco Dolstra 0785dfb9f8 * Lots of refactoring; put the CD image generation in rescue-cd.nix. 
Support booting from something other than a CD.  Add some parameters
  to specify the root device.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=7000
 2006-11-12 18:48:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra afc05314c4 * The installer now takes a user-specified Nix expression that will be 
built in the target Nix store and installed in the "system" user
  environment.  Not quite sure what should go in there, but probably
  the kernel, initrd, the boot scripts and eventually the system
  services.  Maybe grub as well.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6993
 2006-11-11 22:31:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b7e8c174a1 * Add Perl to the path (since it was already on the CD as a dependency). 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6992
 2006-11-11 22:29:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b60dd36c8f * Set up the target file system, copy Nix, do a nix-pull in a chroot, 
and do a nix-env to install some packages.

 2006-11-11 17:59:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 67f3ee3b64 * Probe for the NixOS installation CD.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6979
 2006-11-08 09:31:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6705045334 * Start of the installer: copy the closure of Nix to the target device 
so we can then do nix-env operations in a chroot to do the actual
  installation.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6977
 2006-11-08 02:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 624fe3f2d4 * Automatically bring up the network devices and start dhclient on 
them.

Eelco Dolstra da8cec4795 * Use udevtrigger to create device nodes for all known devices. 
* Plug and play: load kernel modules for all supported PCI devices
  automatically.

 2006-11-07 22:05:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a43fcd57c * Stage 1: clean up better (unmount /proc and /sys, remount new root 
to /).
* Stage 2: use sysvinit to create a bunch of mingetty's on virtual
  consoles 1-6.  Show a nice welcoming message.  Start syslogd and log
  everything to tty10.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6963

Eelco Dolstra 1cec62ba5d * Add additional packages to the path of the interactive shell started 
at the end of stage 2.
