Nicolas Pierron 38e8cf175f * Use normal, dynamically linked binaries for e2fsck, lvm etc. in the
initrd instead of a mix of dietlibc, klibc and static-glibc based
  binaries.  This works by copying what we need from Glibc into the
  initrd and using patchelf to set the ELF interpreter and RPATH
  correctly.  The resulting initrd is about 500 KB smaller, but more
  importantly, it's much easier to maintain - all those
  dietlibc/klibc/static-glibc builds frequently cause build problems.

Nicolas Pierron ad36ce1f5b * 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 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?).

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

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.

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 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 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.

Yury G. Kudryashov 867d814d27 Remove unneeded copy of lvm in initrd.
Something replaces symlinks in initrd with copies. Removed symlinks to lvm and
changed syntax (vgscan -> lvm vgscan).

Eelco Dolstra 15e3ec8dec * Additional debug options for stage 1 (can be passed on the kernel
command line):
  - debug1devices: drop into a shell after modules have been load and
    device nodes have been created.
  - debug1mounts: drop into a shell after file systems have been
    mounted.

Eelco Dolstra 8cf1eceb0a * Allow multiple file systems to be mounted in stage 1 (i.e., from the

  on a different file system than /.

Eelco Dolstra 11e4d36db1 * Look for the CD-ROM in /sys/block, not /sys/devices. Don't look for
a "media" file since SCSI CD-ROM drives don't have it (and
  supposedly it's going away in IDE too).
* Create the device node automatically from the "dev" file in
  /sys/block/$bla.
