to the nixpkgs trunk 'kernelPackages'.
Seeing a strange kernelPackages mentioned in installation-cd-rescue (2.6.31_something) I
update that to 2.6.32.

readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)
Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

pkgs/build-support/vm). This should make the NixOS regression tests
more robust on heavily loaded systems, where they now frequently
fail:
server# mounting //10.0.2.4/qemu on /hostfs...
server# [ 8.233991] Slow work thread pool: Starting up
server# [ 8.234721] Slow work thread pool: Ready
server# [ 23.271708] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 1

server# mount: Host is down
server# [ 23.275188] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Maybe there is a configurable timeout somewhere, which would be much
nicer...

write some magic string to ttyS0. This removes the dependency on
having a CIFS mount.
* Use a thread to process the stdout/stderr of each QEMU instance.
* Add a kernel command line parameter "stage1panic" to tell stage 1 to
panic if an error occurs. This is faster than waiting until
connect() times out.

modules that should be added to the initrd, but should only be
loaded on demand (e.g. by the kernel or by udev). This is
especially useful in the installation CD, where we now only load the
modules needed by the hardware.
* Enable automatic modprobing by udev in the initrd.

automatically loaded by the kernel, load it at boot time.
* Put the ext2 module (which used to be built in) in the initrd to
prevent unexpected breakage.

no longer emits specific events for those. Instead it emits a
"runlevel" event. The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
no longer works. Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged
in on tty1, bad things will happen.

* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.
* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.
* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

into one argument "modules".
* release.nix: fixed the manual job.
* ISO generation: break an infinite recursion. Don't know why this
suddenly happens. Probably because of the nixpkgs.config change,
but I don't see why. Maybe the option evaluation is too strict.

util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs, blkid is in util-linux-ng, and
we need to manually create /dev/.udev prior to starting udevd for
some reason.
