live media isn't exactly the same as the Anaconda install media. Right
now this amounts to needing a root= cmdline argument but in the future
there may be other differences.
This also reverts 5437557846 on the new copies of the templates.
We use this to set various sysctl settings, like setting kernel.printk=1
so we don't get the screen all crudded up with kernel messages during
text-mode installs.
In order for grub to be able to read the kernel regardless of whether
the image is written to a CD or a USB stick, it's necessary to autoprobe
for the filesystem using the findiso command. Add it to the grub config.
move arch-specific stuff to arch-specific subdirs and move all the
common stuff to a subdir named 'common'. Also, rename '.profile' and
'.bash_history' so you actually see them when you 'ls' the 'common' dir.
also added some helpful(?) comments to the templates.
Patch by Ales Kozumplik <akozumpl@redhat.com>
The value syslogd provides at this early point when kickstart starts is
"(none)". This makes the receiving syslog unable to parse the incoming
messages.
This adds the boot config files from anaconda to lorax's configdir.
They've been edited to include a '@ROOT@' placeholder, so lorax can put
the proper root=... argument in place, and to use the @VAR@ convention
everywhere (instead of some using @VAR@ and some using %VAR%).
This should probably fix EFI booting, since the EFI BOOT*.conf was
missing its root=... arg.
Also some default settings were changed in syslinux.cfg (so we don't
have to rewrite those two lines every time).
One last change - the '-magic' arg and ppc 'magic' file have been
dropped, because that's kind of silly and unnecessary.
