2011-11-29Add common KMS modules to the releng initramfs image.Thomas Bächler
On machines with common graphics chipsets (radeon, intel, nvidia), enable KMS early. Downloading images from a remote server can take time, better view the status with a nice resolution.
2011-11-28[archiso] Add PXE NFS supportGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
It add support for using *.sfs images via NFS. It must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way NBD is the default. New boot parameters: archiso_nfs_srv=IP:/path Set the NFS IP and path. Accepts ${pxeserver} as IP. archiso_nfs_opt= Sets NFS mount opts (comma separated) Defaults to: port = as given by server portmap daemon rsize = 1024 wsize = 1024 timeo = 7 retrans = 3 acregmin = 3 acregmax = 60 acdirmin = 30 acdirmax = 60 flags = hard, nointr, noposix, cto, ac :: Running Hook [archiso_pxe_common] IP-Config: eth0 hardware address 52:54:00:12:34:57 mtu 1500 IP-Config: eth0 guessed broadcast address 192.168.0.255 IP-Config: eth0 guessed nameserver address 192.168.0.218 IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 192.168.0.218): address: 192.168.0.90 broadcast: 192.168.0.255 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.0.218 dns0 : 192.168.0.218 dns1 : 0.0.0.0 rootserver: 192.168.0.218 rootpath: filename : :: Running Hook [archiso_pxe_nbd] :: Running Hook [archiso_pxe_curl] :: Running Hook [archiso_pxe_nfs] :: Mounting '192.168.0.77:/mnt/iso' ... 192.168.0.77:/mnt/iso/ on /run/archiso/bootmnt type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,hard,nolock,proto=tcp,port=65535,timeo=7,retrans=3,sec=sys,local_lock=all,addr=192.168.0.77) ...

2011-11-28[archiso] Add archiso_pxe_curl hookGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Its add support for downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP with curl or download *.sfs files. The files are downloaded on /run/archiso/curlspace (tmpfs) and setup a loop dev from it (like in archiso_loop_mnt) in the ISO case, or just do a bind mount to /run/archiso/bootmnt in the other case. This hook must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way NBD is the default. New bootparm: * archiso_curl_url=(first form) archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (absolute form) Use an absolute URL. Fetch the entire ISO archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (relative form) Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Fetch the entire ISO * archiso_curl_url=(second form) archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/unpacked (absolute form) Use an absolute URL. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs. This fetch only needed files. archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/unpacked (relative form) Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs. This fetch only needed files. * curlspace_size= Set a size for a tmpfs filesystem where files are downloaded. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-11-28[archiso] Split archiso_pxe_nbd in two hooks.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
One hook only setup the network device (archiso_pxe_common) the other setup the NBD client (archiso_pxe_nbd). New bootparam: archiso_pxe_srv=IP Allow to set an IP different from the PXE server. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-11-05[archiso] install hook cleanupsGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Remove IDE stuff. * Remove modules that can be added via relevant hooks. * Replace sata with virtio in baseline profile. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-10-23[archiso] Add archiso_shutdown hook.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
STATUS: Working (std boot, loop_mnt, pxe) with copytoram=[y|n]. NEEDS: initscript > 2011.07.3, mkinitcpio > 0.7.2, mkinitcpio-busybox > 1.18.5-1 Purpose: we need this for propertly unmount $cow_device, used for persistent dm-snapshot devices. This hook is based on work from Tom Gundersen[#1], but adapted for archiso things (specially the shutdown script) [#1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-July/001549.html [#2] http://projects.archlinux.org/initscripts.git/commit/?id=1fa7b4b453e96533ae1db3630031285e5fc302b3 [#3] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-August/001749.html Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-06-18[archiso] Use dm-snapshot instead of aufs2 (A.K.A. "The Big Commit")Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem. * A block-level approach vs vfs-level. * No more unofficial (Linux) things. * More memory is needed. * Refactor mkarchiso. * Refactor hooks/archiso. * Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd (due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules()) [Thanks Dave for the improved workaround] * New configs/releng to build official images. * Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile. (better control and easy to maintain) * Remove configs/syslinux-iso. * Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng. * New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template. * New README (draft).
