2010-03-17[archiso] Add nbd hook, to make posible boot archiso from PXE via a NBD.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
nbd (network block device utilities) package is required. This package is in AUR at this moment: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691 Also mkinitcpio-nfs-utils is required for ipconfig. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-03-16Remove archiso_early hook, use /dev/disk/by-label/${archisolabel} instead.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by 60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook. Tested on: * Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive. * KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI) * VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM. IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=, to force and specific device where live-media reside. (Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future) More info at: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2010-March/000890.html http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2010-March/000913.html Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-03-01Welcome back copytoram= optionGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Fixes FS#17182: copytoram=y does not work with aufs The solution is simple, just use a directory outside aufs tree. * If copytoram=y, then another tmpfs is mounted but on /tmpfs.sqfs * Add a new option: tmpfs_sqfs_size= (default to 75%) * Lock cdrom drive is not locked if copytoram=y Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-02-18Rename archiso-early hook to archiso_earlyGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
To make compatible with disablehooks= param. Since "hook_archiso-early" is not a valid variable name. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-02-17Take advantage of module autoloading when mounting images as loopGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Make first /dev/loop0 device at archiso install hook. * Remove unneeded losetup, all is done directly via mount. * Images are now mounted on /tmpfs/mnt/image-name instead of /tmpfs/mnt/loopN, removing unneeded counter. * Add some variables to make code more readable.

2009-01-24Advanced USB delay handlingAaron Griffin
USB boot delay is now handled with the usbdelay kernel param (default=0) We use the built in delay of usb-storage to control this. by setting the module's delay param. If your USB device doesn't work on first boot, try setting usbdelay=10 or so Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
