Eelco Dolstra 170331be30 * Don't use /hostfs to signal the test driver that a VM is up, but
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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell eea026d321 Enabling back the i8042 module loading at initrd. Otherwise, some

Eelco Dolstra daa814980e * At the end of stage 1, reset /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to
/sbin/modprobe because the sactivation script in stage 2 expects it
  to be so.

Eelco Dolstra 6c9059e717 * Added an option `boot.initrd.availableKernelModules' that specifies
modules that should be added to the initrd, but should only be
  loaded on demand (e.g. by the kernel or by udev).  This is
  especially useful in the installation CD, where we now only load the
  modules needed by the hardware.
* Enable automatic modprobing by udev in the initrd.

Eelco Dolstra d6108919b1 * The loopback device is in a module now. Since it's not
automatically loaded by the kernel, load it at boot time.
* Put the ext2 module (which used to be built in) in the initrd to
  prevent unexpected breakage.

Eelco Dolstra 82c3e2aa50 * Updated poweroff/reboot/maintenance mode for Upstart 0.6. Upstart
no longer emits specific events for those.  Instead it emits a
  "runlevel" event.  The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
  perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
  no longer works.  Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
  running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
  remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
  console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged
  in on tty1, bad things will happen.

Eelco Dolstra 11022e8d9f * Back out r17946 and 17948 because it doesn't work. I've seen it
fail to update /etc twice now.  It's also unnecessarily complex

Nicolas Pierron a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

Eelco Dolstra 2892aed712 * lib/eval-config.nix: combined "configuration" and "extraModules"
into one argument "modules".
* release.nix: fixed the manual job.
* ISO generation: break an infinite recursion.  Don't know why this
  suddenly happens.  Probably because of the nixpkgs.config change,
  but I don't see why.  Maybe the option evaluation is too strict.

Eelco Dolstra 16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default).
This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
  journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
  few seconds.  I'd love to know why this is the case...

Eelco Dolstra 1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).
