readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)
Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

because /proc/swaps contains resolved paths as well. Without this,
the swap device will be turned off again by the $unused code.

pkgs/build-support/vm). This should make the NixOS regression tests
more robust on heavily loaded systems, where they now frequently
fail:
server# mounting //10.0.2.4/qemu on /hostfs...
server# [ 8.233991] Slow work thread pool: Starting up
server# [ 8.234721] Slow work thread pool: Ready
server# [ 23.271708] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 1
server# [ 23.272443] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
server# mount: Host is down
server# [ 23.275188] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Maybe there is a configurable timeout somewhere, which would be much
nicer...

this feature, but it's nice not to depend on KDE for non-KDE tests.)

write some magic string to ttyS0. This removes the dependency on
having a CIFS mount.
* Use a thread to process the stdout/stderr of each QEMU instance.
* Add a kernel command line parameter "stage1panic" to tell stage 1 to
panic if an error occurs. This is faster than waiting until
connect() times out.

installation-cd-minimal.nix is now 2.6.32. Added most of its extra
tools to installation-cd-base.nix.
* Put memtest86 at the bottom of the GRUB menu. (There is currently
no good way to do this other than to change the module inclusion
order.)

* Miss-interpretation of the --skip option of cryptsetup. Ciphered partition labels are not supported. Labels are erased when doing mkswap on the ciphered partition.
* Avoid doing swapon on devices which are already listed in /proc/swaps.
* Remove no longer listed devices with only one swapoff command.

* Assemble devices only if there is a new entry.
* Add 'new-raid-array' flag to assemble new arrays.
* Emit new-devices flag to triggers the 'filesystems' task.

use exec so that upstart knows when automount shuts down.
If a mount is used upstart will send SIGKILL.
Automount doesn't clean up. So unmount everything using a post script.

presumably does, but it's marked as unstable upstream.

/nix bind mounted from a fs not rootfs.
As niksnut found, if the sources of bind mounted directories are
umounted before remounting them as "ro", a "mount -o remount,ro" on the
bind targets will not leave the filesystem properly umounted, the same
way as a "-o remount,ro" would do on a usual filesystem.
So, the trick of always remounting as 'ro' before attempting an umount seems
to fix the problem.

partition from /. If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
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
large.

GRUB version changes. (That's the complete version from the name
attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.) The current
version is recorded in /boot/grub/version. This is required to
prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
boot.loader.grub.version to "2".
