Eelco Dolstra b52117c34d Treat init-script as a boot loader 2012-07-25 11:30:16 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 8b91a5f2ff Move boot loader modules to modules/system/boot/loader 2012-07-25 10:59:03 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra b15e1fbb08 Boot loader refactoring
- Renamed system.build.menuBuilder to system.build.installBootLoader.

- ‘install-grub.pl’ (formerly grub-menu-builder.pl) now generates the
  GRUB menu *and* installs GRUB (if necessary).

- ‘switch-to-configuration.sh’ has no boot loader specific knowledge
  anymore.  It just calls installBootLoader.

Eelco Dolstra a0721ad2b3 stage-1-init: Use mount --move to move /sys etc. to the target root
This fixes warnings about /sys/kernel/security during shutdown and
cleans up /proc/mounts.

Eelco Dolstra f07f221f0e Replace grub-menu-builder with a much faster version
The old GRUB menu builder script is quite slow, typically taking
several seconds.  This is a real annoyance since it's run every time
you switch to a new configuration.  Therefore this patch replaces the
Bash script with a much faster Perl script.  In a VirtualBox test, the
execution time went from 2.7s to 0.1s.  The Perl version is also more
correct because it uses XML to get the GRUB configuration (through
builtins.toXML), so there are no shell escaping issues.

The new script currently lacks support for subconfigurations defined
through "nesting.children".

Eelco Dolstra 76c74cd7c7 initrd: Detect filesystem type before doing fsck/mount
BusyBox doesn't handle the "auto" filesystem type very well: fsck will
just ignore such filesystems, and mount will only work properly if the
required kernel module is already loaded.  Therefore, use blkid to
determine the filesystem type.

Also generate an /etc/fstab in the initrd rootfs on the fly.  This is
useful if you're dropped into an emergency shell since it allows you
to say "fsck /dev/sda1" or "mount /dev/sda" and have the right thing
happen.

Mathijs Kwik 061a998840 luks root: c-style for-loop -> seq
The ash shell no longer supports this bash-specific syntax.

Eelco Dolstra e64bdda52b Don't use weird 777 permissions on unmounted /dev/shm 2012-06-27 09:35:53 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 980ba4d5a5 stage-1: mount /proc, /sys, /dev in the target root
The switch_root in BusyBox doesn't do this (while the one in
util-linux does).  So we have to do this ourselves.

Eelco Dolstra 9692495df0 Use BusyBox in the initrd
Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a
much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd.  In particular, BusyBox
contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for
NFS boots.  It's also much more convenient for rescue situations
because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more
tools (including vi).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9125d3af50 Adding creation of /dev/ptmx in stage-2, in case stage-1 did not run.
Upstart requires /dev/ptmx since its 1.4, and will lock up in case of it missing.

I was hitting this in the fuloong, where I don't use the nixos initrd.

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.
