drakx/images/make_boot_img, branch 16.0

images/kernel: Pass the modules we need to be in modules.alias through to dracut.

2013-11-13T11:35:41+00:00

The installer needs to have the modules.alias information for more kernel
modules than are actually included. In order to do this we need to use
and environment variable as there is no sensible way to do this via dracut
command line arguments.

The mgainstaller dracut module will need updating accordingly.

This should solve the problem where Sound Cards are shown as
'not configured' at the end of the install.

images: Add a way to put an automatic method on boot.iso syslinux for testing

Revert "images: Use a generic, shared isolinux.cfg file."

2013-11-04T14:06:00+00:00

This reverts commit 74cc75140329a03e5ed6f952932f8ea937216209.

images: Ensure initrd is created with 644 perms (normally 600 for security reasons)

2013-11-02T15:31:03+00:00

images: Omit the dracut network module now that we include our own networking kernel modules

2013-11-02T11:47:50+00:00

images: Split dracut options out into a config file.

2013-11-02T11:47:48+00:00

Also ensure that the compression method is xz -9 for much better compression
(was previously defaulting to gzip)

images/kernel: Ensure the previously hand-picked modules are included in the new dracut-based initrd.

2013-11-02T11:47:27+00:00

This removes functions no longer called and adds a new one which will
simply list the desired modules and pass them on the dracut command line.

This should mean we have the same modules as before (at least) which should
mean less regressions.

This does increase the size of the initrd back up quite a lot (as expected)
so we may want to look at optimising other areas to bring it back down a bit
again.

images: Use a generic, shared isolinux.cfg file.

This then loads a x86_64 or i586 config depending on the detected arch.

Anne asked for this kind of setup.

images: Clear out some stuff that no longer used.

2013-10-30T20:36:51+00:00

Now that initrds are generated via dracut, there is no need to prepare kernel modules.
This sadly removes support for passing in a kernel rpm file, but such is life.

images: Fix isolinux.bin modules path and add needed modules
