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>

2010-03-01Split aufs mount command from _mnt_squashfs()Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
New function _mnt_aufs(). Don't display incorrect message (Adding new aufs...) when no aufs branch is mounted, because mount type is bind. Also, makes the code more clean :) 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.

2010-02-16Implement mount hook function in archiso hook.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Next version of mkinitcpio > 0.6.2 implements mount hook functionality. So can avoid skipping normal flow of main init script, and removing common end code with it. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-02-06Remove special handling for vfat, all done via blkidGerardo Exequiel Pozzi

2010-02-06Update archiso hooks to work with next mkinitcpio 0.6Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Some basic changes to make archiso hooks work with the next mkinitcpio 0.6 Tested under KVM, a ""2010.02"" and works fine with it. NOTE: current mkinitcpio-0.5.99.2-2 does not include "losetup", maybe will be included in next version, see #[1]. For now must be added manually.

2009-11-17Rename ramdisk_size parameter to tmpfs_size to avoid conflictGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Rename ramdisk_size parameter to tmpfs_size to avoid conflict with the kernel parameter that is for old ramdisk based blockdevs (/dev/ramN) and confusion to users. The kernel parameter ramdisk_size=N is in "N * k size", while tmpfs size=N is in "N * [ k | m | g ] byte size" or "in N% of RAM", like is used by default on archiso. This parameter is used only for tmpfs in size option. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2009-08-25Added vfat support to mount /dev/archisoGerhard Brauer
fstype from klibc don't detect a vfat formatted blockdevice when try to mount /dev/archiso to /bootmnt. Some users don't use the recommened method with dd to bring the image to their USB stick. If they for ex. use Unetbootin to put the iso image on their (v)fat formatted stick they got lost with a kernel panic cause fstype won't detect vfat, so the mount and the later squashfs bindings traps.

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>
2009-01-24Add a manual sleep and rootdelayAaron Griffin

2008-12-23Fix the way squashfs mountpoints are handledAaron Griffin
This is a hacky way to mount squashfs images at directories other than the root. We mount the image to a loop device and then bind it to another directory. This technically supersedes the 'bind' image type, so that should be removed... Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
