Eelco Dolstra b52117c34d Treat init-script as a boot loader 2012-07-25 11:30:16 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 8b91a5f2ff Move boot loader modules to modules/system/boot/loader 2012-07-25 10:59:03 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra b15e1fbb08 Boot loader refactoring 
- Renamed system.build.menuBuilder to system.build.installBootLoader.

- ‘install-grub.pl’ (formerly grub-menu-builder.pl) now generates the
  GRUB menu *and* installs GRUB (if necessary).

- ‘switch-to-configuration.sh’ has no boot loader specific knowledge
  anymore.  It just calls installBootLoader.

Eelco Dolstra f07f221f0e Replace grub-menu-builder with a much faster version 
The old GRUB menu builder script is quite slow, typically taking
several seconds.  This is a real annoyance since it's run every time
you switch to a new configuration.  Therefore this patch replaces the
Bash script with a much faster Perl script.  In a VirtualBox test, the
execution time went from 2.7s to 0.1s.  The Perl version is also more
correct because it uses XML to get the GRUB configuration (through
builtins.toXML), so there are no shell escaping issues.

The new script currently lacks support for subconfigurations defined
through "nesting.children".

Eelco Dolstra 76c74cd7c7 initrd: Detect filesystem type before doing fsck/mount 
BusyBox doesn't handle the "auto" filesystem type very well: fsck will
just ignore such filesystems, and mount will only work properly if the
required kernel module is already loaded.  Therefore, use blkid to
determine the filesystem type.

Also generate an /etc/fstab in the initrd rootfs on the fly.  This is
useful if you're dropped into an emergency shell since it allows you
to say "fsck /dev/sda1" or "mount /dev/sda" and have the right thing
happen.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 34e8f68056 system-tarball-pc: not use boot.initrd.extraTools anymore 
Eelco removed the option recently, making the default initrd have the full
busybox.

Eelco Dolstra cc357c7e64 nixos-rebuild: Add a convenience option ‘--upgrade’

Eelco Dolstra 1da7cea223 Add Busybox to the installation CD 
This is mostly to get the automated tests to succeed.
 2012-06-22 14:16:55 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 598adfee3e Fix booting from the CD-ROM 
So it turns out that BusyBox doesn't auto-load modules for filesystems
that have type "auto", e.g. it doesn't figure out that it should load
the "iso9660" module should be loaded when mounting the CD-ROM.  We
don't want to give the root FS on the CD type "iso9660", because that
breaks booting from a USB stick created by unetbootin.  So make sure
the "iso9660" module is loaded.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 22fc2bdb24 Fixing the evaluation of the system-tarball-pc. 
It complained that grub device wasn't defined, and I guess it wanted some
fileSystems too. I copied those details from the sheevaplug expression, that I
made evaluate some minutes ago.

Eelco Dolstra 29b05fb62a * nixos-checkout: add an argument to specify the directory where the 
sources should be stored.  E.g. "nixos-checkout /home/eelco/srcs"
  will check out to /home/eelco/srcs/{nixos,nixpkgs}.  Probably the
  /etc/nixos default should be removed eventually because /etc is a
  pretty weird place to keep large source trees.
