kernel: factor the former lib/kernel.mk in It wasn't spotted when introducing the distinct kernel feature; will need fixup as we meet packaged ARM/PPC kernels. 2013-01-25 00:55:56 +04:00			`# choose std kernel flavour for max RAM size support`

initial kernel and metadata features This further refines the modular build by making metadata being a clearly separated feature rather than having to rely on runtime tests, and also by moving the code which cares for kernel bits of base installation (.base list) in a feature of its own. There's more to it but let's get the ball rolling first. 2012-05-08 18:59:57 +04:00			`use/kernel:`

kernel: move to std-def again un-def was a desperate measure when std-def of the day was suddenly plain broken. This reverts 0e8871e7b4a276f0dcd0d2a772500285e99b0eec. 2013-01-25 00:04:02 +04:00			`@$(call set,KFLAVOURS,std-def)`
kernel: introduced use/kernel/net target The various 8168 and friends among kernel modules have finally been pushed into a designated target so that RM doesn't have to care which particular additional ethernet modules are available in this particular branch and kernel. Tweak distros as appropriate. NB: maybe* this is required by distro/.base either. 2013-02-21 13:49:32 +04:00
kernel, stage1: don't provide r8168.ko by default It conflicts with r8169.ko inobviously. The whole mess looks like this: - r8169.ko doesn't work for all of Realtek 8111/8168/8169 mutations - r8168.ko works with some of the chips r8169.ko doesn't - r8168.ko also works with many chips r8169.ko works with - r8169.ko is provided by kernel-image package (thus default) - r8168.ko is provided by kernel-modules-r8168 package (optional) - kernel-modules-r8168 package requires r8168-blacklist package - r8168-blacklist package is a one-liner that blacklists r8169.ko - STAGE1_KMODULES wouldn't include r8168 (std-def) or rtl8168 (led-ws) - sub.in/stage1/modules would mention r8168.ko (m-p-d: r8169.ko) So a LiveCD built with use/kernel/net might work with RTL8111/8110 just fine when booted live but fail to automatically load the module when installed onto hard drive; manual modprobe r8169 would work though. NB: some of the chips (those available to me) would work just fine both ways -- this has contributed to fixing this that late. Bottom line: do not install backup/kludge drivers overriding main ones by default! Thanks sem@ for providing the crucial hint. 2014-03-13 22:16:48 +04:00			`# r8168 is a kludge, never install it by default`

firmware: factored out kmodules to kernel Maybe firmware feature should be merged into kernel feature as the firmware binaries added by it are only used by kernel but let's clean up a bit at a time. 2014-08-29 15:36:05 +04:00
