2011-03-20Start agetty on kernel cmdline-provided consoleSimo Leone
This makes interactive installations over serial consoles possible with nothing more than specifying the console= kernel parameter. Changed inittab id "s0" -> "z0" to avoid conflict with line ttyS0. (Gerardo) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

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>

2010-10-17Remove 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

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.
2010-07-21Remove x86testThomas Bächler
The upstream URL is dead and there seems to be no other source or information on this tool. Thus, drop it
2010-07-21Add HDT to the boot menuThomas Bächler
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.
