* main/syslinux: improve portability of update-extlinuxNatanael Copa2015-06-261-1/+1
| | | | minor fix that makes it work with bash
* main/syslinux: make trigger not fail on lxcNatanael Copa2015-05-191-3/+32
| | | | | | | | on lxc we dont have the boot device available so extlinux will fail. We cannot check for `openrc --sys` because apk run the trigger in chroot and grsecurity will prevent openrc access /proc/1/environment. So we simply add a --warn-only option and use that from trigger.
* main/syslinux: update-extlinux use 'vanilla' as label in menuNatanael Copa2014-07-161-1/+5
|
* main/syslinux: fix update-extlinux to handle vanilla kernelNatanael Copa2014-06-251-2/+6
| | | | | the vanilla kernel does not have any -* suffix so it needs special handling.
* main/syslinux: add support for serial console in update-extlinuxNatanael Copa2014-05-291-0/+3
| | | | fixes #2761
* main/syslinux: update-extlinux: autodetect poweroff.c32Natanael Copa2013-06-301-6/+9
| | | | and trivial fix for comment in conf
* main/syslinux: use cmp -s instead of cmp --quiet due to busyboxNatanael Copa2013-06-301-1/+1

* main/syslinux: hooks for bootloader passwordDubiousjim2013-06-301-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We allow a password to be set in /etc/update-extlinux.conf. Instructions for generating this are in /etc/update-extlinux.conf. For reference, here is another (equivalent) way to generate the MD5 password: openssl passwd -1 -salt yy pass If one sets a password, one will presumably want to make /etc/update-extlinux.conf world-unreadable. We don't do that for you; however we do make sure when a password is present to make the /boot/extlinux.conf files we generate be world-unreadable. Of the auto-generated entries, only HDT (if this is generated) is now configured to respect the password; however, you can include "MENU PASSWD" in any entries you put in /etc/update-extlinux.d/. For example, I configure my BIOS to only boot from the internal drive, but I have an entry in /etc/update-extlinux.d that permits chain-booting from a USB key, and I have this entry configured to also require the password. (The BIOS is also passworded, so that these settings can't be changed willy-nilly.) Conflicts: main/syslinux/update-extlinux.conf
* main/syslinux: don't create backup when no changesDubiousjim2013-06-301-6/+10

* main/syslinux: add Hardware Detection Tool entryDubiousjim2013-06-301-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HDT provides a curses-like interface to display lots of hardware info about your machine at bootloader time. We don't install /boot/hdt.c32, but if it's present (it can be copied from /usr/share/syslinux/hdt.c32), we add a menu entry for it---in preference to, rather than in addition to, memtest, since HDT has a menu entry which invokes memtest. Using HDT to its full capacity requires finding or generating modules.pcimap and pci.ids files for your machine, and installing them in /boot. We might want to document this, which I don't here (but the online docs for HDT do). These aren't required to use other functionality of HDT; and it's pretty useful already without those.
* main/syslinux: add reboot entryDubiousjim2013-06-301-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't install /boot/reboot.c32, but if it's present (it can be copied from /usr/share/syslinux/reboot.c32), we add a menu entry for it---just like with memtest. Add a comment to /etc/update-extlinux.conf stating this. It'd already be possible to get a reboot entry using the /etc/update-extlinux.d/ folder, but this patch provides a more intelligent framework with nicer layout. The syslinux sourceball also provides a shutdown module, but I couldn't get this to work and looking at the sources reveals it to be for machines with APM enabled. Not sure how many machines that applies to anymore.
* main/syslinux: reorganize menu layoutDubiousjim2013-06-301-5/+9
| | | | | | Add a blank line between any entries added from /etc/update-extlinux.d/*. Move the memtest entry (if any) after a separator line, below these.
* main/syslinux: use more specific LINUX (instead of KERNEL) for kernelsDubiousjim2013-06-301-1/+1

* main/syslinux: use more specific COM32 (instead of KERNEL) for mboot.c32Dubiousjim2013-06-301-1/+1
|
* main/syslinux: fix/refactor initramfsDubiousjim2013-06-301-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | If xen.gz is present, there are multiple kernels, and later ones lack an initramfs, they'll currently be (wrongly) configured to use a initramfs anyway. Fixed. We also refactor the check for /boot/initramfs-$tag, and configure this using a separate INITRD line, instead of adding it to the APPEND line. In passing, this also closes a second might-use-a-stale-initramfs bug.

* main/syslinux: misc update-extlinux fixesNatanael Copa2011-08-031-36/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - rename /etc/extlinux-conf to /etc/update-extlinux.conf - Do not exit with fail if update-extlinux.conf is missing - Always warn if root= is not defined in update-extlinux.conf - Try harder to detect the root device by parsing /proc/mounts - Exit with error if we cannot detect the Root device - Rename fancy_menu to vesa_menu - Unifiy the code generating vesa/standard menus - Keep a backup of old extlinux.conf - add "overwrite" config option so it is possible to skip overwriting the extlinux.conf. - Added a post-upgrade that imports current extlinux.conf to update-extlinux.conf
