bootloader: Add device-tree-support? option.

2022-08-30T06:50:44Z

In some specific cases where the device tree file is already loaded in RAM, it can be preferable that the bootloader does not try to use a device tree from the Linux kernel tree. * gnu/bootloader.scm ()[device-tree-support?]: New field. * gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (extlinux-configuration-file): Add FDTDIR line based on field of . * doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration)[device-tree-support?]: Add documentation for the new field.

bootloader: grub: Allow booting from a Btrfs subvolume.

2020-05-20T12:30:35Z

* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (strip-mount-point): Remove procedure. (normalize-file): Add procedure. (grub-configuration-file): New BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME parameter. When defined, prepend its value to the kernel and initrd file names, using the NORMALIZE-FILE procedure. Adjust the call to EYE-CANDY to pass the BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME argument. Normalize the KEYMAP file as well. (eye-candy): Add a BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME parameter, and use it, along with the NORMALIZE-FILE procedure, to normalize the FONT-FILE and IMAGE nested variables. Adjust doc. * gnu/bootloader/depthcharge.scm (depthcharge-configuration-file): Adapt. * gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (extlinux-configuration-file): Likewise. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (btrfs-subvolume?) (btrfs-store-subvolume-file-name): New procedures. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-bootcfg): Specify the Btrfs subvolume file name the store resides on to the `operating-system-bootcfg' procedure, using the new BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME argument. * doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Add a Btrfs subsection to document the use of subvolumes. * gnu/tests/install.scm (%btrfs-root-on-subvolume-os) (%btrfs-root-on-subvolume-os-source) (%btrfs-root-on-subvolume-installation-script) (%test-btrfs-root-on-subvolume-os): New variables.

bootloader: Mark "grub.cfg" and "extlinux.conf" as non-substitutable.

2020-01-03T15:06:26Z

Suggested by . * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-configuration-file): Pass #:options to 'computed-file'. * gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (extlinux-configuration-file): Likewise.

bootloader: Use 'invoke/quiet' when running 'grub-install' and co.

This hides potentially confusing GRUB messages from the user, such as "Installing for i386-pc platform." * gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (install-extlinux): Use 'invoke/quiet' instead of 'system*' and 'error'. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub, install-grub-efi): Likewise. * guix/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-script): Guard against 'message-condition?' and handle them properly.

Remove traces of "GuixSD".
