Nicolas Pierron cf103b8d4d Add 2 index file to define the default case for detected and not-detected
devices.  These are used to replace hand made listings in the basic
installation CD.

The configuration file, which is generated by nixos-hardware-scan, enables
not-detected devices by default.

Eelco Dolstra c4f910f550 * Substitute the path of the system derivation directly in the stage 2
init script.  This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
  parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough.  However, the GRUB menu
  builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
  for compatibility with old configurations.

Eelco Dolstra c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

Eelco Dolstra d659488209 * Use the regular GRUB menu builder for Amazon. There are two issues:
we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
  (because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
  requires "root (hd0)".  For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
  to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
  generated without installing GRUB.  For the second, add an option
  boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
  to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 1dd3162d7c First attempt at trying to get a tarball of a bootable nixos system.
What I want with this derivation is to allow the sheevaplug nixos to
build a tarball with all the needed files to boot. Then, this can be
unpacked into an SD card, or into a NFS/TFTP server, and then the
user can boot the system with help of the uboot console.
By now, I have only tried to build the tarball in a PC, in order
to develop the nix expressions quicker.

There is nothing written specialy for the Sheevaplug in all this,
by now.

Eelco Dolstra 1a0bb65901 * Added a regression test for whether the Nixpkgs channel works. This
is done by instantiating a webserver that simulates nixos.org.
  Using nix-push we create a channel that contains some stuff (namely
  the GNU Hello source tarball and the rlwrap program).  This was a
  bit tricky because nix-push requires a writable Nix store.  Using
  AUFS this is possible, but not on recent Linux kernels (AUFS1 over
  CIFS fails).

  use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file.  This
  makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete.  (Is there a
  way to mark obsolete options?)  It also makes it unnecessary to set
  boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
  available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 75f6cd20da Making modular my previous changes for armv5tel. I updated the way to use
grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.

I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

Eelco Dolstra 89ef5c979b * New nixos-rebuild action: "nixos-rebuild build-vm" builds a virtual
machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
  configuration.  This is mostly useful for testing configuration
  changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
  "nixos-rebuild test").  The VM can be started as follows:

  $ nixos-rebuild build-vm
  $ ./result/bin/run-*-vm

  which starts a KVM/QEMU instance.  Additional QEMU options can be
  passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
  (e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
  guest).  The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
  configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
  can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices.  Instead, at
  startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
  store the VM's root filesystem.

  Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
  store with the host (through a CIFS mount).  However, because the
  Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
  run Nix build actions inside the VM.  Therefore the VM can only be
  reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
  restarting the VM.

Eelco Dolstra e4e408293e * Modularise the building of the installation CD/DVD. The module
iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a

  that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to

  The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
  system.build.isoImage.  So it can be built as follows:

  $ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
      --arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
      -A config.system.build.isoImage
