+ Add "FORCE_FIRMWARE=1" to CONF.sh to turn this on
+ Will pick up on packages in the "firmware" task and install them
+ Will also add sym-links to them in CD1/firmware so that new d-i code
can find them easily.
+ Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
* Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
* Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.
The old setup worked fine with an ext2 initrd but fails with an initramfs,
either because autodetection is different for initramfs or because of kernel
changes (I suspect the first).
This means that booting s390 from CD has not worked since sometime during the
Etch release cycle, even though support for booting from CD was only added
early in that cycle - ouch.
For booting with an initramfs initrd we apparently need to specify its
offset and size at specific memory locations.
Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton, Mark Post
(of Novell) and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.
This fixes booting from CD using the d390.ins file; tested in Hercules for
both Lenny (31-bit kernel) and Squeeze (64-bit kernel).
Booting from CD using the d390.tdf file may still be broken (if possible at
all) as I have no idea how to test that.
Patch from Ian Campbell.
i386 Xen guests require a PAE (686-bigmem) kernel in order to
run. Therefore this variant includes the relevant installer kernel and
ramdisk in install.386/xen as well as suitable kernel udebs and proper
debs for the installed system.
amd64 Xen has no similar requirement but we include the kernels under
install.amd/xen in order to have a consistent path under both
architectures.
AFAICT this option does not do anything: we're already booting from
CD-ROM at this point. If it were needed, it should also have been
included in the other append= lines.
Some udebs that no longer exist are removed and new (in some cases not
really new, but well) udebs that are known to be included in the initrd
are added. For i386 and amd64 the list of kernel udebs already included
in the initrd is updated.
+ Remove binary blobs from the package; pull those files from the
.debs in the archive as needed (isolinux.bin, vesamenu.c32)
+ sbm.bin *not* yet worked out, so drop it for now
+ Pull out the code to find the right deb and put it in a new helper
shell script (tools/which_deb), called from Makefile and boot-* as
needed.
- exclude any libdirectfb udeb instead of particular version
- exclude kbd-udeb and console-setup udebs (not yet used)
- remove strange comment about apt-setup; it seems like they have never
actually been excluded
- Structure of D-I images was simplified, so adapt to that
- Fix some broken references to etch in lenny boot-sparc script
- Hope after all this things will still work...
full CDs.
* Make the full CD have apt-mirror-setup in its udeb_exclude file, to avoid
that component being installed to satisfy apt-setup's dependency on it (I
hope), so that the user is not unncessarily asked for a mirror during a
full CD install, but is still asked for one during installs from the
smaller CDs.
- sparc64: switch to 2.6.12 kernel; make CD multiboot 2.6 and 2.4,
using 2.6.12 by default
- sparc32: drop 2.6 kernel support as it has no 2.6.12 kernel
- restructure silo.conf with proper support for install, expert and
rescue boot options
* Add release notes to CD#1 on full CD/DVD sets, and link them from
README.html
* Tweak the generated Release files to be "stable" rather than
"testing"
* Added Sven's patch: a pegasos forth boot script
Only enable the rescue isolinux targets for etch.
I hope at least some of the etch stuff (like tools/boot/etch) can be used
for the daily CD builds that build using d-i daily builds.
post-sarge d-i images only, but I guess it won't hurt to have the
stanzas there even for sarge images. We may add rescue mode in r1
or something even..
manual from small CDs to save space. We will probably be adding several
new translations, and possibly PDFs, and that would use too much space
on the small CDs.
- Also make the README link to the manual on the Debian web site if
OMIT_MANUAL=1.
- Update the README to mention manual translations are available.
