Eelco Dolstra fb0a54b803 * In nixos-install, do a nix-pull from
http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/nixos-<version> to ensure we're
  getting the right binaries.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 2ca7e8a43e Reverting 33692, because memtest in the iso was failing.
I set the grub entry for memtest to read "Memtest86", as suggested by Eelco.

I run:
svn merge -c -33692 ^/nixos/trunk
And edited the change a bit.

Eelco Dolstra 907df082dc * Including the Nixpkgs revision made the ISO volume label slightly
too long.  So make it shorter.

Eelco Dolstra 096b7723c8 * Add a command "nixos-version" that prints the version of the
currently activated NixOS.  This is "0.1pre-svn" when built from a
  SVN tree, but contains the actual revision when installed from the
  NixOS channel or from the ISO.

Eelco Dolstra 5409e76353 * Disable wicd in the installation CD for now, because it causes
dhcpcd to segfault randomly or give corrupt output.  See e.g.

    http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2380666/nixlog/1/raw

  The problem seems to be that wicd sends a "-k" command to dhcpcd to
  release the interface, which doesn't work well with a dhcpcd that
  handles all interfaces in one process.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9017ccf9fe Removing the special memtest.nix module for the isos, and using
the same as the usual nixos. I think this trivial change works;
I checked the grub.cfg output generated in the iso_minimal.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 6e281e46b7 I update the name of the memtest entry in grub of the iso images,
because it can be overriden choosing another memtest86.

As an effect of a change in nixpgks, the isos will include
memtest86 4.0a instead of memtest86+ 4.20, only because the 
former is released later, and I deduce it should work better.

Eelco Dolstra 4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

Shea Levy b82c253b24 Add a kernel patch for the efi boot stub to read a config file when booted without arguments, and base removable media booting off of that patch
The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged

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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4bc0bfec4c Making the system-tarball-pc boot fine with PXE, and include help files and a

This allows booting the NixOS in the system tarball, and thus allows installing nixos.
