civodul pushed a commit to branch master
in repository guix.
commit bc499b113a598c0e7863da9887a4133472985713
Author: Ludovic Courtès <address@hidden>
Date: Tue Feb 27 11:42:09 2018 +0100
system: Add 'initrd-modules' field.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[initrd-modules]: New field.
(operating-system-initrd-file): Pass #:linux-modules to 'make-initrd'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules): New procedure.
(%base-initrd-modules): New macro.
(base-initrd): Add #:linux-modules and honor it.
* gnu/system/install.scm (embedded-installation-os): Use
'initrd-modules' instead of 'initrd'.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (%raid-root-os): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference): Add 'initrd-modules'.
(Initial RAM Disk): Document it. Adjust example to not use
#:extra-modules.
