| 2008-03-22 | initramfs-uniboot-1.0: only source existing files in load_modules | Philipp Zabel | 1 | |
| * this avoids "/init: source: 64: Can't open /initrd.d/0*" for initramfs images built without the bootldr-buster module. | ||||
| 2008-03-09 | initramfs-uniboot: Set default rootdelay globally, instead of ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 2 | |
| initramfs-module-bootmenu. * That's because otherwise it's half-solution - after kexec, there won't be delay, and rootfs won't be detected. * Again, people who don't need and don't want delay, should pass rootdelay=0. | ||||
| 2008-03-09 | initramfs-*: Use $CONSOLE for input/output. | Paul Sokolovsky | 3 | |
| 2008-03-09 | initramfs-module-bootldr-buster: Use sane console setup. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| 2008-03-08 | initramfs-uniboot: Add new global var - CONSOLE - and start to use it as ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| output device. * This is to workaround bogus console= passed in by bootldr. | ||||
| 2008-03-08 | initramfs-module-bootldr-buster: Add initial code to workaround bogus system ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| console issue. * The main trouble is the bogus console=ttySA0 passed by bootldr It appears that kernel doesn't have protection against only invalid consoles being passed on the command line, which means that the kernel is deaf and dumb when booted by bootldr. | ||||
| 2008-03-08 | initramfs-module-bootldr-buster: initramfs module to fight Compaq bootldr ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| stupidity. | ||||
| 2008-03-08 | initramfs-uniboot: Add support for early-init plugins. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| * Extend plugin protocol: plugins matching pattern '0*' are early-init, executed ASAP after boot, before kernel command and block devices are scanned. And thus, they can affect parsing of kernel command line (by overriding $CMDLINE) or detection of block devices (e.g. by loading additional modules). | ||||
| 2008-03-08 | initramfs-module-bootmenu: If rootdelay= param was not passed, assume 2s ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| delay still. * So people who don't bother to set correct rootdelay still have good chance for there SD/CF cards detected. * To disable the feature, explicit rootdelay=0 should be passed on kernel command line. | ||||
| 2008-03-08 | initramfs-module-bootmenu: Show only block devices with FSes supported for boot. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| 2008-02-17 | initramfs-uniboot: FSTYPE -> ROOT_FSTYPE, set from rootfstype= command line ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 3 | |
| param. | ||||
| 2008-02-17 | * initramfs-module-bootmenu: Add support for jffs2 booting and "drop to ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 2 | |
| shell" option. | ||||
| 2008-02-17 | initramfs-module-block: Accept additional FSTYPE param, handle mount failure. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| * FSTYPE useful for FSes not automatically recognized by mount (e.g. jffs2). | ||||
| 2008-02-17 | initramfs-uniboot: Modprobe mtdblock and factor out fatal(). | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| 2008-02-16 | initramfs-module-bootmenu, initramfs-module-kexecboot: Fixes for kexecing. | Paul Sokolovsky | 2 | |
| * Be sure to pass original command line contents to new kernel. * Add protection against infinite recursive kexecing. | ||||
| 2008-02-16 | initramfs-module-kexecboot: Initramfs module to kexec to kernel in rootfs. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| * Instead of switch_root'ing to it, which was the only working mode previously. So, now, if there's /boot/zImage in rootfs, it will be kexec'ed too. Otherwise, switch_root will happen. * Caveat: there should be initramfs for new (kexec'ed to) kernel too, too handle its loading of rootfs as selected by interactive bootloader. This can be very same kernel as for bootloader, with bundled initramfs-bootmenu-image (which has special check - if root is explicitly specified on command line, then skip interactive selection); or, as a kind of optimization, that could be initramfs-image (no interactive part). Finally, initramfs (any of there two or other) can be a standalone file in rootfs, /boot/initramfs.bin. | ||||
| 2008-02-14 | initramfs-module-bootmenu 1.0: Add jffs2 to list of recoginized FSes. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| * This is likely not enough to make jffs2 boot work. | ||||
| 2008-02-06 | initramfs-module-check-modules: An initramfs module to check modules ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| consistency. * Checks that version of the boot kernel matches that of modules installed in rootfs. * A step towards providing manageable upgrade path for kernels outside rootfs. | ||||
| 2007-12-25 | initramfs-module-nfs: Fix packaging, add delay after g_ether load. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| 2007-12-25 | initramfs-module-bootmenu 1.0: Use best-practice (based on FHS) location for ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| NFS root. | ||||
| 2007-11-24 | initramfs-module-bootmenu: Switch from using buggy mount --guess-fstype to ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| buggy klibc's fstype. | ||||
| 2007-11-22 | initramfs-module-bootmenu: Interactive boot location selection for ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| initramfs-uniboot. * For now, supports booting from ext2/ext3 partitions and from ext2/ext3 loopback images placed on vfat partition. | ||||
| 2007-11-22 | initramfs-module-loopboot: Allow to use absolute path for loop file location. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| 2007-11-22 | initrdscripts: module-initfs: Be silent on loading non-existent module. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| * Use -q for modprobe, and as that apparently doesn't help bitbake's modprobe, redirect output to /dev/null. | ||||
| 2007-11-22 | initrdscripts: We obviously first do rootdelay, and only then create device ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| nodes. | ||||
| 2007-11-22 | initrdscripts: Separate fs kernel module loading to separate plugin. | Paul Sokolovsky | 2 | |
| 2007-11-22 | initrdscripts: Initial value for ROOT_DEV is null. | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| 2007-11-22 | initrdscripts: Introduce boot order support for universal initramfs modules. | Paul Sokolovsky | 3 | |
| 2007-07-20 | initramfs: Add blockboot plugin and cleanup dependency handling. | Alex Osborne | 1 | |
| 2007-07-19 | initramfs-module-nfs: Make it actually mount NFS by using the same option as ↵ | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| kernel does. | ||||
| 2007-07-19 | initramfs: New modular initramfs for booting kernel from various media. | Alex Osborne | 3 | |
| * Design principles: * This initramfs just mounts roots and runs init on it, nothing else. * Whenever possible, existing kernel parameters are used. When extended boot methods are provided, new parameters mimick/adhere to existing conventions. * System is modular/pluggable - each mount method is in own module with more or less well defined interface, it's possible to construct complete system with any combination of modules. * Modules includes: initramfs-module-loop, initramfs-module-nfs, to boot from loop devices (including recursive loops) and NFS, correspondingly. | ||||
| 2007-07-17 | initramfs-nfsboot: Add parsing of kernel commandline params, bump version to 0.2 | Paul Sokolovsky | 1 | |
| * Untested. | ||||
| 2007-06-10 | initramfs-nfsboot 0.1: Sample initramfs script to boot from NFS. | Paul Sokolovsky | 2 | |
| * Need too add parsing of kernel cmdline instead of hardcoded params. | ||||
