Eelco Dolstra fc14a31f2c unionfs: Increase the open file limit
The default (1024) is way too low, e.g. to start KDE on the
installation CD.

Eelco Dolstra 458f36f5f1 Turn fileSystems into an attribute set
So now you can write

  fileSystems =
    [ { mountPoint = "/";
        device = "/dev/sda1";
      }
    ];

as

  fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/sda1";

Eelco Dolstra 16da4a14f1 amazon-image.nix: Don't put any old configurations in the GRUB menu 2012-07-25 16:38:05 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 7613ae950a Fix booting on EC2
The kill command in ash doesn't know the "--" syntax, but doesn't need
it either.

Eelco Dolstra 2821289aeb * Ugly hack: force udev to exit to prevent random "Device or resource
busy while trying to open /dev/xvda" errors from fsck.

Eelco Dolstra 185e9b69ed * Assume that the ephemeral devices are called /dev/xvda-e. So
in Charon deployments, non-ephemeral devices should be >= /dev/xvdf.

Eelco Dolstra 4abfacb468 * In the initrd, automatically mount all available ephemeral disks.
This depends on the EC2 instance type, so we have to probe for them.

Eelco Dolstra e0573105b7 * Disable stuff like ALSA and the splash screen in headless setups
(like EC2 instances).

Peter Simons 20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

Eelco Dolstra 68ebbb6093 * Put /nix on /ephemeral0 using AUFS (with the original /nix from the
AMI as a base) because the root filesystem is rather small.

Eelco Dolstra 34719e0c4a * On second thought, panicking in stage 1 doesn't help because it
won't actually cause the instance to be terminated (even if
  "panic=1" were to be set), merely rebooted.

Eelco Dolstra a242602b40 * /data -> /ephemeral0.
* Put /tmp and /var on the /ephemeral0, as it has much more
  space than the root filesystem.
* Panic on stage 1 errors since they cannot be repaired anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 4963f769d9 * Print the host public key on the console so that the user can obtain

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)").

Eelco Dolstra d7f638da0c * Amazon now supports booting a custom kernel in the AMI using
pv-grub, so supply a GRUB menu that starts our own kernel and
  initrd.

Eelco Dolstra 3e3448a7df * Added an Upstart job to fetch the SSH key for logging into the root
account of the VM.  However, it doesn't work yet (the machine
  doesn't boot properly and there is no console output).  So use a
  hard-coded password for now (very dangerous!).
