This is a follow up patch for #f5bac4495d34. The change of the
location of the font file was not applied if an iso target, live
or install image is being built. This patch completes the change
and Fixes bsc#1124885
If boottimeout is set to zero it is evaluated as "not set"
and the default applies. However it's a fairly well approach
to set a zero second boot timeout. This Fixes#789
A new dracut module kiwi-repart used to be the successor of
the custom kiwi oemboot code to repartition the disk has
been added. Along with the module a dracut library kiwi-lib
will also be delivered.
If the menu title is setup via the displayname attribute in
the XML configuration, kiwi should not change this text by
a prefix or any other style adaptions. Fixes#287
Fixes (bsc#1032118)
The adaption of the bootpath in the grub.cfg file with regards
to the btrfs toplevel volume named '@' was the wrong solution.
The fixes in the btrfs filesystem setup and the config files
etc/default/grub and sysconfig/bootloader caused the grub
toolchain to work properly. This Fixes (bsc#1030038)
The configuration files /etc/sysconfig/bootloader and
/etc/default/grub needs to be created/updated with the
relevant values regarding the bootloader setup done by
kiwi. This Fixes#226
The parameter for the uuid is not enough to handle all
supported disk geometries. If the disk has an extra boot
partition the bootloader setup must read the boot data
from the boot partition but must set the root for the
kernel cmdline to the root partition. Therefore the
interface needs to change and must provide both the
boot_uuid and the root_uuid in oder to allow the method
to setup the correct values
This addresses the following issues
* An image based on btrfs using the entire boot as a subvolume
causes grub to be unable to find its config file. Thus kiwi
now raises an exception in this situation
* Don't prefix the bootpath with the snapshot path if the
btrfs root is placed in a snapshot. Instead the file
etc/default/grub must be written/updated with the
SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING variable set to true. Once
this is done the bootpath is consistently set to /boot
no matter which snapshot is active
Generate a serial line setup for the isolinux.cfg file
according to the bootloader_console attribute from the
XML description. In addition delete the use of the obsolete
vga kernel parameter and work with the MENU RESOLUTION
ui configuration parameter instead
The attribute installboot allows to specify the default boot
menu entry in an install image. It can be set to harddisk,
install or failsafe install. The setup of that information
in the bootloader configuration was not properly processed
nose is no longer maintained, thus we have to move to another
testing system. This commit updates the tox setup and all tests
to use pytest instead of nose.
As of today only the kiwi initrd could be used with an image
build. This commit adds a new initrd_system attribute and
allows to select between kiwi and dracut as initrd system.
Please note the dracut initrd does not support all features
of the kiwi initrd. This fixes#25
