Eelco Dolstra 9774eb5798 * Symlink fsck.ext[234] to e2fsck. This makes the initrd 600 KB smaller.

Eelco Dolstra aff7fba098 * Don't run fsck on journalling file systems. Instead assume
that the file system driver will replay the journal at 
  mount-time in case of an unclean shutdown.  For ext3 at least 
  this is *much* faster.

Eelco Dolstra 1603d28819 * Include tune2fs in the initrd. This is useful for
(say) converting from ext3 to ext4.

Eelco Dolstra 4bd1537860 * Create /nix/var/nix/chroots in the activation script
and re-create it at boot time.

Eelco Dolstra ea67a42d26 * Continue booting when loading a kernel module fails. For instance,
on my system when booting Linux 2.6.27, ide-generic fails with
  "Cannot allocate memory" (maybe because ata_piix already claimed the
  IDE devices?).

Eelco Dolstra d146d9945b * Disable deleting /tmp at boot time. This should be controlled
by an option (which should default to off, IMHO).  I was rather
  surprised when I rebooted my system and it started deleting all
  of /tmp (which, for instance, contained some test DB/repos for 
  the Subversion server)...

Marc Weber b69efea5a7 reworked error handling on startup (stage-1)
on any error you'll be asked to run (interactive/ final) shell or continue ignoring the error

Marc Weber 2eb6597bd3 remove maybe existing /etc/mtab symlink and only mount usb if kernel supports it
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=12570
2008-08-10 12:23:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2783f96ce7 * Remove the sleep-5-seconds hack in the initrd, instead loop until
the device to mount appears.  This wasn't previously possible
  because of root devices specified by label (mounted via "mount
  LABEL=foo ..."), but now we use /dev/disk/by-label so we can easily
  test whether the device already exists.

2008-08-08 23:15:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a83becdee8 * When booting from the installation CD, just mount
/dev/disk/by-label/<label>.  This makes the whole
  autoDetectRootDevice/rootLabel machinery unnecessary.

Eelco Dolstra b760a4b8d9 * Use the persistent storage udev rules in the initrd so that we can
use /dev/disk/by-{label,id,...} names for the root FS.
* Kill udevd at the end of stage 1.  Don't know how it got killed
  previously...

Eelco Dolstra a33d2f3adc * Use a klibc-based udev. Hopefully this fixes the problems
encountered on x86-64 when udev is compiled against dietlibc.

Eelco Dolstra 63e316ecac * Refactoring: move all the initrd-generation related stuff to
boot-stage-1.nix in order to unclutter system.nix.

Eelco Dolstra abbe260a80 * Don't use modprobe but insmod in the initrd. This means we don't
need module-init-tools in the initrd, since insmod is in klibc.
* Give the installation CD a label.

Eelco Dolstra 4d6548e94c * Use the tools from klibc in the initrd instead of the static-tools.
This makes the initrd a few megabytes smaller.
* Use run-init from klibc to delete everything in the initrd ramfs
  prior to switching to the real root FS.
* Removed the stage2Init argument.

Eelco Dolstra ce250ffb37 * Installation CD: include a lot of modules (SATA, PATA, Firewire,
USB, some SCSI controllers) in the initrd for mounting the CD.
* Add nix-hardware-scan to the system.
* Upstart: don't use the -v flag.
* Include the NixOS version in the ISO image filename.
* Include testdisk and ms-sys in the CD.
* Some bugfixes in the installer.

Eelco Dolstra 2da50038e4 * Use aufs instead of unionfs, it seems to be more stable.
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=10390
2008-01-29 18:53:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

    device nodes have been created.
  - debug1mounts: drop into a shell after file systems have been
    mounted.

  as well).
