The scripts were named the same for syslinux and grub. Because of this, scripts for syslinux were overwritten by grub scripts.

I've just borrowed glebfm@'s one introduced by commit ec23a8ec before; this still might be improved it seems. Suggested-by:

Every .iso was assumed to be bootable since the very beginning[*], and isoboot images were deemed to be x86 isolinux ones; this didn't change with basic ppc/armh support as I never ran into hardware that would _boot_ those ISOs, not only run the code, and it was only e2k isodata project that finally forced this refactoring. It's still not perfect: pack and syslinux features still end up somewhat interwoven, and too much places care for architecture the image is being built for (instead of archdep features tossing their appropriate bits and pieces in). Should help: - any-arch regarding isodata images; - {x86,aarch64}/efi by decoupling isoboot and isolinux; - ppc{,64} as introducing yaboot support will be easier now; - mipsel{,64} too, hopefully. * I knew of school addon images baked with mkimage-profiles-desktop but postponed and then neglected the whole problem for years...

This one enables rw session support for Rescue images; the nitpick is that syslinux' gfxboot *will* set this up when booting the same ISO from USB Flash media instead of optical one (CD/DVD-ROM/RW), and we don't put gfxboot into a standalone rescue image.

Was broken in too many places including several libraries x11vnc currently links against getting removed, several utilities missing, and no way to guess what to do... One could stumble upon http://altlinux.org/vncinst or find the implementation in installer.git but it's not exactly user-friendly.

This one is related to forensics mode handling in mkimage: there's a regex that's expecting the old string ending with hash value, and it stops working when this is changed here (at least as of mkimage 0.2.18). So partially undo the change for this particular file to avoid refind's example menu for regular-rescue.iso (or any other image involving forensics mode), and hope to revert this commit some day.

This keyword was misused due to the lack of understanding of its meaning; thanks zerg@ for the hint, let's hide the kernel boot parameters not expected to be modified by user under the hood (and vice versa in some cases). Note that this is just a keyword shift in all cases but mediacheck where "showopts" is now added. NB: this keyword is only relevant for gfxboot.

"Failsafe install" disabling APIC/LAPIC looks somewhat obsolete by now; the only reasonable part seems to be the attempt to force VESA videodriver for the installer (should be done within installer itself though).

"Forensic mode" submenu has fallen apart after the original commit as the tricky logic in mkimage::tools/mki-copy-efiboot failed to pick up the new variant; this should all be redone (solo@ has started doing something but it needs a time-consuming review). Fixes: 79d02088

This one is just like STAGE2_BOOTARGS but for rescue images (which don't do that one for quite a few reasons).

This one was an experimental but the server is long offline and isn't going back up; remove the obsolete config snippet, if/when it's done again it's the easiest part to be restored (the implementation should provide HTTP/FTP/NFS-publishable deliverables without the need to extract those from ISO images).

There's a convention that syslinux configuration snippets carrying the names of subprofiles involved are picked up automatically; there were a few special cases already when this is actually inconvenient, and there's another one at hand so let's just step up and do it. NB: this is a sort of a hacky hook though, wish an elegant interface would come to mind some day.

This one provides cmdline arguments for startup-rescue >= 0.24 which would bring up networking and sshd in its turn thus allowing remote access to the host booted in this mode. The feature has been asked for by many people including mithraen@ and valintinr@ (and I'd make use of it another day too). See the appropriate startup-rescue commit description for notes on implementation; this default set of variable values should be both useful and illustrative though.

The former approach to handling "LiveCD with sessions" has been to mangle "automatic=method:cdrom" into "automatic=method:disk,label:ALT*" within gfxboot so that propagator and make-initrd-propagator would try and discover/create a filesystem labelled "alt-live-storage" on a LiveFlash's free space. Then "live_rw" handling has been unified in make-initrd-propagator (as of 0.18-alt1) to accept any of "label" subparameter or "live_rw" argument to go and create_disk_slice(). Then propagator's cdrom.c has been fixed to actually try sdX1 before sdX (as of 20150306-alt1). And now it's all been tested to verify that: - flash "ro" and "rw" boot is OK - CD-ROM "ro" boot is OK - CD-ROM "rw" boot is fine given that there's a partition labeled "alt-live-storage" elsewhere This is a can of worms indeed :-/ References ~~~~~~~~~~ * http://altlinux.org/initrd-propagator * http://altlinux.org/make-initrd-propagator * http://bugzilla.altlinux.org/28289

This one has been inspired by these guys: http://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.html https://raymii.org/s/blog/Vim_as_PID_1_Boot_to_Vim.html It's aimed at building images running their main userspace piece instead of ramdisk's init, that means PID=1, UID=0. Mostly fun of course but it suddenly became interesting with kernel IP autoconfiguration and e.g. elinks running this way (NB: requires patched make-initrd 0.8.8 at the moment to get resolver configured). And startup times are way better than sysvinit and systemd combined!

cfg.in/README should be explicit regarding "automatic=method:cdrom" being usable for flash media too (propagator has been fixed since 20101130-alt10 or so, and gfxboot is able to tweak the cmdline having figured out it's running off the flash either).

It's not neccessarily installation media. Shift boot order so that rescue image can get mediacheck too but still boot into rescue by default.

As proposed by Maxim Suhanov since there are only 7 loop devices available upon bootup which might be not enough given ro,loop mounts by default.

This value is used to authenticate rescue rootfs image by verifying the squashfs file's sha256sum before use (propagator-20140419+). Looks like this check might be useful for other stage2 images as well but let's get started with this one. Thanks Maxim Suhanov <suhanov/group-ib.ru> for both http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Forensic_Live_CD_issues and propagator patches.

Thanks Maxim Suhanov (suhanov <AT> group-ib.ru, http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/User:.FUF) for taking the time to review regular-rescue image. Note that there are more than just filesystems: arrays, logical volumes and swaps aren't activated either; startup-rescue >= 0.18 should make that clear enough. syslinux shortcut handling is case-insensitive, let's find yet another letter...
