Archboot (简体中文)
Contents
Archboot是什么?
- Archboot是一组启动CD/USB/PXE等启动介质的脚本。
- 它用来安装或者恢复系统。
- 它不依赖于任何文件系统，只能运行在内存中，因此需要你有足够的内存。
pacman -S archboot
Archboot的发布
- 提供ISO镜像文件和BT种子，并且包含i686和x86_64的core库。
- 请阅读变更记录文件（Changelog）来确认对内存的需求。
- 使用前请检查md5sum。

快速安装修改
- added systemd support
- generate enough entropy for pacman with haveged
- adopted pacman changes to use signed only packages
已知问题
- systemd booting has a little bug: /var/run needs to be a symlink to /run
rm -r /var/run ln -s /run /var/run systemctl restart dbus.service systemd-logind.service
烧录发布
Hybrid镜像是一个CD和硬盘镜像。
- 可以用来刻录CD(RW)光盘.
- 可以使用'dd' 或者 similar 工具写入磁盘介质. 这种方法也可用用来制作USB盘。
'dd if=<imagefile> of=/dev/<yourdevice> bs=1M'
PXE 启动 / 恢复系统
从/boot目录的PXE/rescue启动文件中下载需要的文件 Download the the needed files from the /boot directory PXE/rescue files.
- vmlinuz_i686 + initramfs_i686.img (i686)
- vmlinuz_x86_64 + initramfs_x86_64.img(x86_64)
- vmlinuz_i686_lts + initramfs_i686.img (i686 LTS kernel)
- vmlinuz_x86_64_lts + initramfs_x86_64.img (x86_64 LTS kernel)
- For PXE booting add the kernel and initrd to your tftp setup and you will get a running installation/rescue system.
- For Rescue booting add a entry to your bootloader pointing to the kernel and initrd.

启动参数
建立启动参数
- earlymodules
- load modules before hooks are executed
- Usage:
- earlymodules=<comma-separated-array>
- earlymodules=ahci,ehci-hcd
- disablehooks
- disable a hook which is run during bootup
- Usage:
- disablehooks=<comma-separated-array>
- disablehooks=arch_floppy,arch_cdrom
- root
- Using this option will boot you into your specified existing system.
- Usage:
- root=/dev/<your-root-of-installed-system>
- root=/dev/sda3
- rootflags
- Using this option will pass special mount options for your root device
- Usage:
- rootflags=<comma-separated-array>
- rootflags=subvol=root,compress,ssd
- lvmwait=
- Using parameter followed by a comma-separated list of device names can be given on the command line.
- It will cause the hook to wait until all given devices exist before trying to scan and activate any volume groups.
- Usage:
- lvmwait=/dev/mapper/device1,/dev/mapper/device2
- advanced
- This will override advanced hooks running order for your system.
- Default order is arch_mdadm,arch_lvm2,arch_encrypt
- Advanced hooks are: arch_mdadm,arch_lvm2,arch_encrypt
- Usage:
- advanced=hook1,hook2,hook3
- advanced=arch_encrypt,arch_mdadm
- ide-legacy
- This will turn on the old IDE subsystem. This is only needed, if your system does not support the new PATA subsystem.
- only valid parameter on LTS kernel images
- arch-addons
- You want to load external addon packages or configs into the install environment.
- Place external addon packages in /packages directory of your external device.
- Place external configs in /config directory of your external device.
视频和framebuffer 选项
- uvesafb
- enables uvesafb mode during boot and activates setup routine to use it later on installed system.
- you need to specify your supported resolution eg.:
- uvesafb=<resolution>-<depth>
- uvesafb=1024x768-16
- fbmodule
- Loads the fb module you specify durin boot process and activates setup routine to use it later on installed system.
- Use it like this fbmodule=<yourmodule>, e.g. fbmodule=cirrusfb
问题, Known Issues and limitations
- Release specific known issues and workarounds are posted in changelog files.
- Check also the forum threads for posted fixes and workarounds.
- Why are /etc/modprobe.d/sound_persistent.conf and /etc/udev/rules.d/network_persistent.rules created?
- These 2 files ensure persistent ordering of network and soundcards, else it might happen that the order changes during every boot.
- dmraid might be broken on some boards, support is not perfect here.
- The reason is there are so many different hardware components out there. At the moment 1.0.0rc16 is included, with latest fedora patchset.
- grub2 cannot detect correct bios boot order:
- It may happen that hd(x,x) entries are not correct, thus first reboot may not work.
- Reason: grub cannot detect bios boot order.
- Fix: Either change bios boot order or change menu.lst to correct entries after successful boot. This cannot be fixed it is a restriction in grub/grub2!
- Why is parted used in setup routine, instead of cfdisk in msdos partitiontable mode?
- parted is the only linux partition program that can handle all type of things the setup routine offers.
- cfdisk cannot handle GPT/GUID nor it can allign partitions correct with 1MB spaces for 4k sector disks.
- cfdisk is a nice tool but is too limited to be the standard partitioner anymore.
- cfdisk is still included but has to be run in an other terminal.

Usbstick 恢复
Take care about which device actually is your USB stick. The next command will render all data on /dev/sdX inaccessible.
- First, wipe the bootsector of the USB stick:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1
- Then, create a new FAT32 partition on the stick and write a FAT32 filesystem on it (vfat or type b in fdisk terminology):
fdisk /dev/sdX <<EOF n p 1 t b w EOF mkdosfs -F32 /dev/sdX1

如何建立Archboot Allinone ISO
(Quick regeneration of installation media with latest available core packages)
前提条件
- x86_64环境
- archboot的iso
- 3G以上的硬盘空间
建立archboot chroots
# 安装 archboot pacman -S archboot # 以loop设备挂载archboot镜像文件 mount -o loop <imagefile> <imagepath> # 建立 x86_64 chroot mkdir <x86_64_chroot> /usr/share/archboot/installer/quickinst media <x86_64_chroot> <imagepath>/core-x86_64/pkg # 建立 i686 chroot mkdir <i686_chroot> linux32 /usr/share/archboot/installer/quickinst media <i686_chroot> <imagepath>/core-i686/pkg # 卸载光盘镜像文件 umount <imagepath>
- 挂载并复制文件到chroot目录下:
mount -o bind /dev <chrootpath>/dev mount -o bind /tmp <chrootpath>/tmp mount -o bind /sys <chrootpath>/sys mount -o bind /proc <chrootpath>/proc cp -a /etc/mtab <chrootpath>/etc/mtab cp /etc/resolv.conf <chrootpath>/etc/resolv.conf
- 进入 archboot x86_64 chroot:
chroot <chrootpath>
- 进入 archboot i686 chroot:
linux32 chroot <chrootpath>
安装和更新archboo
# 安装 in both chroots archboot: pacman -S archboot # 更新 in both chroots to latest available packages pacman -Syu
生成镜像
# 运行 in both chroots (needs quite some time ...) archboot-allinone.sh -t # put the generated tarballs in one directory and run (needs quite some time ...) archboot-allinone.sh -g
- Finished you get a burnable iso image, a rawwrite usb image and a hybrid image which is both in one.
- 在离开chroot时记得卸载它们:
umount <chrootpath>/dev umount <chrootpath>/tmp umount <chrootpath>/sys umount <chrootpath>/proc
