Eelco Dolstra c4c68f97d1 * The volume ID is too long again. Shorten it to make it fit (just
barely) inside the 32 character limit.

Eelco Dolstra 6c1bb54483 * In the installation CD, make the NixOS/Nixpkgs available as if they
were obtained from the NixOS channel.  "nixos-install" copies this
  to the installed system as well.
* In the installation CD, set GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE to a low value for
  the benefit of memory-constrained environments.

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.

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.

Eelco Dolstra b69dd8759c * minimal.nix: don't include base.nix. Also note it's not currently used.

Eelco Dolstra ba7f635f8b * Move the hardware bits of base.nix into a separate module,
all-hardware.nix.  This allows base.nix (which should probably be
  renamed to something more descriptive) to be reused without getting
  the hardware configuration of the installation CD.

Eelco Dolstra 6ee609a0a3 * On the installation CD, set the overcommit heuristic to "always
overcommit".  This makes it less likely that the installer fails
  randomly in low memory environments.

Nicolas Pierron cf103b8d4d Add 2 index file to define the default case for detected and not-detected
devices.  These are used to replace hand made listings in the basic
installation CD.

The configuration file, which is generated by nixos-hardware-scan, enables
not-detected devices by default.

Eelco Dolstra 790368e315 * Removed installation-cd-minimal-fresh-kernel.nix since the kernel in
installation-cd-minimal.nix is now 2.6.32.  Added most of its extra
  tools to installation-cd-base.nix.
* Put memtest86 at the bottom of the GRUB menu.  (There is currently
  no good way to do this other than to change the module inclusion
  order.)

2009-12-16 23:52:02 +00:00
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.
