* initramfs-live-boot: create /dev/consolePatrick Ohly2015-09-061-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some kernels, for example linux-yocto 3.19 for qemux86, fail to execute /init in an initramfs unless there is already a /dev/console char device in the initramfs. Booting then fails with: Kernel panic - not syncing: /dev/console is missing or not a character device! Please ensure your rootfs is properly configured The panic itself comes from a linux-yocto specific patch to kernel_init_freeable in init/main.c, but even without it, that function will print an error when /dev/console is missing. The kernel's Documentation/initrd.txt also mentions creating that device. It remained unclear why this is not a problem on other machines. On intel-corei7-64 from meta-intel, something (the kernel?) creates /dev/console and /dev/[012] before transfering control to the init script. In that case, creating /dev/console in advance is not necessary, but does not cause any problem either.

* Move boot media to /media/realroot for easy access after boot.Brian Lloyd2014-07-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are cases where software after boot may need to know the current boot disk. Under the current system, it is not guaranteed which disk is the boot. While /media/sda is a good guess, it isn't always right, nor is it a good assumption that only one boot disk is in the system. This gives a standard path to the original boot disk mount which can be used to, for instance, update the syslinux file on the boot media with a newer kernel, or updating the boot parameters to add user options for future boots. Knowing which disk is the boot media keeps from updating the non-boot disk when for instance multiple syslinux boot medias are plugged in (ie ensure correct syslinux is updated when the booted system is updated).

* Replace one-line DESCRIPTION with SUMMARYPaul Eggleton2014-01-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of our recipes had short one-line DESCRIPTION values and no SUMMARY value set. In this case it's much better to just set SUMMARY since DESCRIPTION is defaulted from SUMMARY anyway and then the SUMMARY is at least useful. I also took the opportunity to fix up a lot of the new SUMMARY values, making them concisely explain the function of the recipe / package where possible.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | are resolved There are issues with the current unionfs when making a union mount over "/". Until these are resolved we can't use unionfs for live booting so disable this temporarily as a workaround. unionfs is usable in other circumstances.

* initrdscripts: fix init-live.sh and use unionfsYang Shi2012-04-111-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [YOCTO #1487] When booting up with liveCD image, init scripts can't work well on read-only filesystem. Unionfs, which is supported in Yocto kernel, allows a filesystem to appear as writeable, but without actually allowing writes to change the filesystem. Use unionfs to mount rootfs and make root file system can be writen when using liveCD to boot up. Set UNION_FS variable depending on kernel config, so that it can work with kernel which doesn't have unionfs feature.

* Set an explicit path for the initrd scriptsDarren Hart2011-09-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we don't set PATH, then the shell will specify one for us. Busybox adds the sbin dirs, but bash does not. I hit an issue where bash (among other things) ended up in my initrd and the boot scripts failed due to a bad default PATH. While that is a separate issue, we should not be at the mercy of the shell's default PATH.

* Improve handling of 'all' architecture recipes and their interaction with sstateRichard Purdie2011-05-311-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing PACKAGE_ARCH = "all" mechanism of sharing packages is problematic with sstate since there are a variety of variables which have target specific values and the sstate package therefore correctly changes signature depending on the MACHINE setting. This patch creates a new "allarch" class which sets: PACKAGE_ARCH = "all" (as per the existing convention) INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS = "1" (since its not target specific and therefore can't depend on the cross compiler or target libc) TARGET_ARCH = "all" TARGET_OS = "linux" TARGET_CC_ARCH = "none" (since these variables shouldn't change between the different packages and target compiler flags shouldn't be getting used) PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS = "" (since we shouldn't be depending on any architecture specific package architectures) Not all PACKAGE_ARCH = "all" recipes can use this class since some run configure checks on the compiler. This means they have target specific components and therefore the "all" classification is incorrect.

* Major layout change to the packages directoryRichard Purdie2010-08-271-0/+13
Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more information about the classifications used. The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes" as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to people and has many different meanings. Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as they're no longer actively used or maintained.
