syslinux.bbclass: Fix default serial port string

2013-12-12T16:53:03+00:00

The default value of SYSLINUX_SERIAL_TTY is not correct.

It should be console=ttyS0,115200 else the boot string generated in
the syslinux menus for the serial choice is not correct.  The kernel
boot parameters will get set to:

/vmlinuz initrd=/initrd LABEL=boot root=/dev/ram0 ttyS0,115200

Note that the above is missing the "console="

The default value will now work the same as the value found in
grub-efi.bbclass.

boot-directdisk.bbclass: Fix media generation problems with vmdk

2013-09-26T16:27:23+00:00

The various populate methods need to accept a path as an argument vs
using hard expanded variables.  In the case of the boot-directdisk
class it uses a different path for HDDDIR but it gets eclipsed by the
the class definition at the point in time ${HDDDIR} gets expanded.

The logical fix is to pass the arguments to the functions as opposed
to using globally expanded variables from the class definitions.

This patch changes 3 things:
1) syslinux_hddimg_populate takes an argument for the destination
2) syslinux_iso_populate takes an argument for the destination
3) populate is changed to boot_direct_populate because there
   was a conflict with it overriding the populate in bootimg.bbclass

syslinux.bbclass, syslinux: Update to syslinux 6.01

2013-09-26T16:27:23+00:00

A newer version of syslinux is required for an EFI enabled isohybrid.
This is used for the the capability to generate 3 types of ISO images,
all of which can be booted off a USB device or HDD if copied with dd.

1) PC BIOS only ISO
2) EFI only ISO
3) EFI + PC BIOS ISO

The syslinux.bbclass required a minor tweak because a few .c32
libraries require dynamic loading from the created media as of
syslinux 5 and up.  This was a good time to also fix the
duplication of the AUTO_SYSLINUXMENU block.

syslinux.bbclass: Fix hard coding of console=tty*

2013-09-26T16:27:23+00:00

The SYSLINUX_SERIAL variable was hard coded and occasionally needs to
be different for the kernel argument vs the syslinux argument.

In the auto-generated boot mode console=tty0 was hard coded, and this
is not needed at all, and causes problems in some cases if a end user
wanted to change the console=... via the kernel boot argument APPEND
mechanism.  The default can be forced with SYSLINUX_DEFAULT_CONSOLE
for systems that need a special specification to enable the frame
buffer instead of a serial port.

boot-directdisk: Allow for EFI-only boot direct disk images

2013-09-14T07:26:44+00:00

    Condition building PCBIOS legacy images on MACHINE_FEATURES containing "pcbios"
    or not containing "efi". This ensures existing BSPs will continue to get the
    old PCBIOS legacy-only images. New BSPs can add "efi", "pcbios", or both. The
    images created likewise support one or the other or both.

syslinux.bbclass: Add a default serial console option and real boot menu support

2013-03-18T21:42:19+00:00

The previous syslinux menu code did not support using both a serial
and vga console, but this has worked for years in syslinux so there is
no reason not to take advantage of it.  The previous menu looked like:

-------------------------------------------------------
Linux Boot Menu
The following targets are available on this image:

             boot: None
             install: None
-------------------------------------------------------

This commit makes it look something more like a traditional grub menu
on both the serial console and vga console as well as providing the
option to continue on using either the serial or vga console with the
correct kernel arguments.

You can see the screen shots attached to the bugzilla.

meta: Convert getVar/getVarFlag(xxx, 1) -> (xxx, True)

2012-03-05T18:33:18+00:00

Using "1" with getVar is bad coding style and "True" is preferred.
This patch is a sed over the meta directory of the form:

sed \
 -e 's:\(\.getVar([^,()]*, \)1 *):\1True):g' \
 -e 's:\(\.getVarFlag([^,()]*, [^,()]*, \)1 *):\1True):g' \
 -i `grep -ril getVar *`
