2011-06-27install/base: use private API call to add configDave Reisner1-1/+3
We can't let add_file get its hands on the config file, because we need to be sure that an absolute path is honored. As a side effect, ensure that $BASEDIR is appended to the config file during preset processing.

2011-06-25install/base: cleanup and simplifyDave Reisner1-22/+12
* Create only the directories that are necessary. If others are needed, they'll be created along the way. As part of this, we create /new_root sooner in init, so it's less jarring to the user if they request a break. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>

2011-06-16functions: remove add_deviceDave Reisner1-5/+0
This was only ever used in the base layout, and it's not needed. devices will be present if we're using devtmpfs, and created for us by init if we mount on tmpfs. Also, this is part of our move towards using bsdcpio instead of gen_init_cpio, and as a side effect we can no longer support this. Any devices that need to be created should be done so by the runtime hooks, not the install time hooks. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>
2011-06-16mkinitcpio: deprecate install() in install hooksDave Reisner1-1/+1
This is an unfortunate name clash with a common utility and should be avoided. Rename the install function to 'build' and warn the user when we discover a hook using an 'install' function. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>
2011-04-08Introduce /runThomas Bächler1-0/+1
Mount /run as a 10MB tmpfs with 1777 permissions early. Move it to /new_root when switching.
2010-06-26Add back /dev/{zero,null,mem} to the initramfs imageThomas Bächler1-0/+3
These devices might be actually needed before (dev)tmpfs is mounted, for example when uvesafb is built into the kernel (no module). By creating them in the image, they will be present as soon as initramfs has been extracted. Fixes https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19903.
2010-06-10Create /dev/{null,zero,mem,console} devices when devtmpfs is missingThomas Bächler1-3/+0
These devices used to be present because they were added in the image. Since we now mount {dev,}tmpfs early in initramfs, the devices from the image will be invisible. In the tmpfs-case, create the devices manually so everything will be in order until udev is started, or if udev isn't used at all.
2010-01-10Make base hook help message more generic, remove klibc referenceThomas Bächler1-2/+2
2010-01-10Remove kinit usage from /init: Implement parseblock and kinit in shell code, ↵Thomas Bächler1-0/+1

2010-01-05Start moving from klibc to glibc+busyboxThomas Bächler1-12/+9
Remove klibc-isms from base and init (except kinit, which will be done in a later commit) Install busybox to the initramfs and change /init so it can be used with busybox

2008-03-15v86d failed if called before udev, because /dev/mem didn't exist. This patch ↵Thomas Bächler1-0/+1
allows people to use uvesafb earlier.
