2010-12-07[archiso] Add support to mount iso in loopback mode.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Add two parameters: img_dev=/dev/sdNM where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located. img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev. Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2010-12-07[archiso2dual] Adjust to work with new dir schemeGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
This is how ISO will look now: /syslinux only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc) /arch/ isomounts /arch/any *.sqfs only on -T full or -T split /arch/i686 *.sqfs /arch/x86_64 *.sqfs /arch/boot Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage /arch/boot/i686 Linux + initramfs /arch/boot/x86_64 Linux + initramfs Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2010-11-30[archiso] Add -D <install_dir> option to mkarchisoGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
-D <install_dir> allow to select install directory on target media defaults to "arch". There is a new %INSTALL_DIR% macro for syslinux.cfg. This is how ISO will look now: /syslinux only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc) /arch/ isomounts + *.sqfs images /arch/boot/ Linux + initramfs + Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2010-10-17Remove occurrences of KERNEL from syslinux.cfgThomas Bächler
syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit versions instead: LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too) COM32 - for COM32 modules COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now) See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#KERNEL_file

This was wrong and can never have worked. Fix it.
2010-10-12[archiso] Update nbd hook to match newer nbd operation mode.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Newer nbd-server uses config file instead of parameters via cmd line (deprecated). Also does not use a fixed port (oldstyle). Sample nbd-server.conf that works with this change: -- CUT HERE -- [generic] [archiso] readonly = true exportname = /tmp/archlinux.iso -- CUT HERE -- Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2010-07-22Rename all occurrences of isolinux to syslinuxThomas Bächler
The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders). Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux' is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.

HDT is a hardware detection/info tool. It will show information about your hardware, including PCI devices. It will also show the names of the kernel modules that will support your devices.

2010-07-09Rename directories and parameteres to be more descriptiveGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* squashfs images that will be part of read-only branchs for union mount in / are mounted on /ro_branch/{image_name} instead of /tmpfs/mnt/{image_name} (and avoid empty dirs on live env under /mnt) * tmpfs that will be part of read-write branch for union mount in / is mounted on /rw_branch instead of /tmpfs * tmpfs that is for store *.sqfs images when copytoram=y, is mounted on /copytoram instead of /tmpfs.sqfs * tmpfs_size= parameter renamed to rw_branch_size= * tmpfs_sqfs_size= parameter renamed to copytoram_size= Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2010-06-04Add optional command line parameter: archisobasedirThomas Bächler
When remastering the image onto a USB volume, you might want to reuse an existing partition without filling the root with lots of archiso files. The archisobasedir parameter allows to specify a new root directory, isomounts and all images will be searched in this directory.
2010-05-16archiso_pxe_nbd: Remove unnecessary/unsupported network modulesThomas Bächler
The archiso_pxe_nbd hook adds all network modules, including ones that are not supported: The hook only supports ethernet devices, so there is no need to add wireless, wimax, ppp, irda and plip modules. Adding the wireless modules had an undesired side effect: The wireless driver was loaded in the initramfs stage, where the required crypto modules were unavailable. This caused the initialization of the wireless devices to fail. This patch removes all network modules except ethernet.
