Eelco Dolstra cda2e41c01 * Added a "xendomains" job to automatically start the domains defined
in /etc/xen/auto at boot time, to save all running domains during
  shutdown, and to restore all saved domains at boot time.

Eelco Dolstra aeb89fc753 * Set /proc/sys/kernel/poweroff_cmd to Upstart's poweroff command
(rather than /sbin/poweroff).  Xen's "xm shutdown" needs this to
  enable the host to cleanly shutdown the guest.

Eelco Dolstra c4f910f550 * Substitute the path of the system derivation directly in the stage 2
init script.  This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
  parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough.  However, the GRUB menu
  builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
  for compatibility with old configurations.

Eelco Dolstra c8d1774f09 * Speed up the initialisation of /etc in the activation script a lot
by doing it in Perl instead of in Bash.  Forking a zillion times is
  slow.

Eelco Dolstra f729f12e4e Some cleanups in the activation script:
* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
  never makes sense not to have it there.  It no longer needs to be
  declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
  string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

Eelco Dolstra c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

Eelco Dolstra f067d179ab * Create /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp in the activation script. The
build hook uses this directory to store temporary GC roots.  (It
  creates it if it doesn't exist, but it's better to do it here as
  well to ensure the right ownership and permissions.)
* Clear /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp and /nix/var/nix/temproots at boot
  time.

Eelco Dolstra e8e7ee356c * In the installation CD, pass the label of the CD through the
root=... kernel command line parameter, instead of hard-coding it in
  `fileSystems'.  This is to allow CD-to-USB converters such as
  UNetbootin to rewrite the kernel command line to the label or UUID
  of the USB stick.

Eelco Dolstra d659488209 * Use the regular GRUB menu builder for Amazon. There are two issues:
we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
  (because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
  requires "root (hd0)".  For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
  to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
  generated without installing GRUB.  For the second, add an option
  boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
  to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

Eelco Dolstra e7c0c929ed * Work around a bug in QEMU, which doesn't implement the "READ DISC
INFORMATION" SCSI command:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609049

  As a result, `cdrom_id' doesn't print
  ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA, which in turn prevents the
  /dev/disk/by-label symlinks from being created.  We need these in
  the NixOS installation CD, so use ID_CDROM_MEDIA in the
  corresponding udev rules for now.  This was the behaviour in udev <=
  154.  See also

Eelco Dolstra 69c7175404 * During shutdown, don't unmount mount points that don't exist (in the

Eelco Dolstra a5c433696c * Put all of /var/run (not just /var/run/nscd) on a tmpfs to simplify
shutdown.  (Portmap and statd are needed during shutdown to unmount
  NFS volumes but have open files in /var/run.)
* In the shutdown job, don't kill PIDs belonging to Upstart jobs that
  are still running.  If they don't stop on the "starting shutdown"
  event, then they're needed during shutdown (such as portmap and
  statd).
* NFS test: test whether the shutdown quickly unmounts NFS volumes
  (i.e. whether portmap and statd are still running).

Eelco Dolstra 23cc979f61 * Run `swapoff -a' during shutdown. Otherwise filesystems containing

  message if the filesystem is in use.

Eelco Dolstra c089738bdc * Use the shadow' package instead of pwdutils', `pam_login' and
`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
  equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
  `nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
  The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
  `security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

Eelco Dolstra ad93acc295 * Make all Upstart jobs shut down on the `starting shutdown' event.
This ensures that they're gone by the time the shutdown job runs, so
  it doesn't have to stop them itself.
* Don't respawn tasks, as it doesn't seem useful (if they fail they're
  likely to fail again if they're restarted).

to use the standard (coreutils) tools.
* Use util-linux's `switch_root' to switch over to the target root
  FS.  It automatically moves over the /dev, /proc and /sys from stage
  1, so stage 2 doesn't need to set them up again.
