* gnu/build/install.scm (evaluate-populate-directive): Wrap body in
"catch 'system-error", and report clear errors. In the symlink case,
retry up EEXIST.
(populate-root-file-system): Remove /var/guix/profiles/system-1-link
before attempting to create it.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Remove #:linux and
#:linux-modules parameters. Remove call to
'float-linux-module-directory'.
(base-initrd): Add call to 'float-linux-module-directory'. Use it in
#:linux-modules argument in the gexp. Remove #:linux and
#:linux-modules arguments to 'expression->initrd'.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (build-initrd): Remove
#:linux-module-directory parameter. Don't create 'modules'
sub-directory.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Mentin that LINUX-MODULES is a
list of absolute file names. Don't prepend "/modules/" to
LINUX-MODULES.
* doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (cache-compiled-file-name,
compile-to-cache, build-initrd): New procedures.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[builder]: Remove code
now moved above. Use 'build-initrd'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Remove calls to
'imported-modules' and 'compiled-modules'. Use 'gexp->script' with
EXP. Add the result to TO-COPY. Make /init a symlink to that script,
and copy its closure into the "contents" directory. Add fake
/proc/self/exe symlink.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (load-linux-module*): Add comment about mmap.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add "-m
256". This turns out to be needed for initrds containing things like
e2fsck and several modules; with the default of 128 MiB, loading
libahci.ko may fail with -1.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm: New file.
* gnu-system.am (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Use (gnu build
linux-initrd) and 'write-cpio-archive' instead of the inlined code.
