drakx/images/make_boot_img, branch 16.61 Mageia Installer and base platform for many utilities make_boot_img: Avoid gfxboot install string for chain.c32 2014-12-16T21:25:30+00:00 Erwan Velu erwanaliasr1@gmail.com 2014-12-15T19:59:05+00:00 79eadf6eb1ea04504e509bc6ce8583c2ebd24013 When using chain.c32 with gfxboot, the automatic method is padded even if the harddisk entry is said to be noinstall in the gfxboot. This patch uses the "exit" option from our custom Syslinux patch to avoid chain.c32 reading gfxboot paddind. I know this isn't perfect but enough to make mageia 5 having the localboot working again. Debugging gfxboot is just a nightmare.

This patch suggest switching to chain.c32 which handle much more options & features than localboot. By default, we replace the localboot by the chainloading hd0.

Now that systemd is used there, we can use systemd-nspawn to 'boot'
systems as containers. Unfortunately the kernel's audit subsystem
needs to be fixed otherwise logging in doesn't work... so lets turn
it off.

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.
