2020-05-30Using edk2-shell for UEFI shellDavid Runge
configs/releng/build.sh: Instead of downloading UDK2018 based edk2 UEFI shell, use the Shell binaries from the edk2-shell package. This effectively makes the use of EFI shell v1 obsolete. configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/uefi-shell-v*: Renaming UEFI shell entries to match the packaged edk2-shell based UEFI shell binaries. configs/releng/build.sh: Renaming the systemd-boot bootloader entries for UEFI shell (normal and full version) to reflect their file names, which are derived from the binary names in the edk2-shell package. Copying the edk2-shell based UEFI shell binaries for normal efiboot and .iso based "el-torito" efiboot mode. docs/README.build: Adding edk2-shell to the requirements in the documentation, as the package is now used to provide UEFI shell.

2015-12-13add boot params archisoflags= and cow_flags= for mount optionsChristian Hesse
Having files on btrfs subvolumes requires to give mount options. Add boot params archisoflags= and cow_flags= for this purpose. Boot parameters could look like this: ... archisodevice=/dev/sdaX archisoflags=subvolume=isos cow_device=/dev/sdaX cow_flags=subvolume=persist ... Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse <mail@eworm.de>
2015-09-13cleaner boot from loopmounted iso fileAdam Purkrt
Currently, when booting loopmounted iso file, it is necessary to specify not only img_dev and img_loop (which should be sufficient), but also archisolabel or archisodevice. With this patch, archisodevice is directly populated with the correct loop device, and it is not necessary to specify the label when booting from loopmounted iso, which makes for leaner and cleaner grub.cfg.

2014-08-08Reintroduce the possibility to force an architectureLukas Fleischer
Among other things, 36459f3 ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28) removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the i686 flavor. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de>
2014-06-28[archiso] Drop aitab supportGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Always create one filesystem of a fixed size (32G), format (ext4) and know name "airootfs". Simplify logic a lot.
2014-06-28[archiso] Rename root-image to airootfsGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Two purposes: * systemd filename friendly: "-" is used for "/" and must be escaped with "\x20" * ISO9660 filename friendly: "-" is replaced with "_"
