Gerd v. Egidy eb066bcd34 activate serial console in grub/UEFI, change baud rate to 115200
Before this patch a serial console was only enabled in syslinux for
traditional BIOS, not in grub / UEFI. In traditional BIOS the baud rate
was 38400 before.

Today 38400 is rarely used anymore and most modern devices using a
serial console default to 115200, which is the highest baudrate possible
with the original UART-ICs. Modern UART-ICs usually support higher
baudrates too, but they need a special driver for that. So 115200
is often used because of the wider compatibility.

In grub and syslinux a serial console can fully work in parallel to the
regular console. So enabling it doesn't change anything when nothing is
connected to the serial console or no serial port is installed at all.

This commit only touches the bootloaders, not the boot entries.

Project website

Homepage: https://www.system-rescue.org/

Project sources

This git repository contains SystemRescue sources files. This is based on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/

Building SystemRescue

SystemRescue can be built for x86_64 or i686 architectures. It must be built on archlinux if you want to build a 64bit edition, or archlinux32 if you want to create a 32bit edition. The following packages must be installed on the build system: archiso, grub, isomd5sum, mtools, edk2-shell, hugo.

You need to use a modified version of archiso for the build to work. This version is provided in the custom sysrescuerepo repository. See the pacman.conf file in the source. Either copy the sysrescuerepo section into your /etc/pacman.conf or replace the whole /etc/pacman.conf file with the one from the source. Install archiso afterwards.

The package list contains packages which are not part of the official binary package repositories from Arch Linux. These packages are also provided in the sysrescuerepo repository. If you want to rebuild them, see systemrescue-custompkg. Create a local repository out of them with repo-add, host it on a webserver and then adapt pacman.conf.

The build process requires the systemrescue-website repository which is included as git submodule. So when checking out this repository, make sure to check out the submodule too. This can be done for example with git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/systemrescue/systemrescue-sources.git

The build process can be started by running the build.sh script. It will create a large "work" sub-directory and the ISO file will be written in the "out" sub-directory.

Building SystemRescue with docker

If you are not running archlinux, you can run the build process in docker containers. You need to have a Linux system running with docker installed and configured. You can use the scripts provided in the docker folder of this repository.

You must export the environment variable named sysrescuearch before you run the two helper scripts. It should be set as either x86_64 or i686 depending on the target architecture for which you want to build the ISO image.

After this, you need to run the script which builds a new docker image, and then the script which uses this docker image to builds the ISO image. The second script will pass the arguments it receives to the main build.sh script.

For example you can build a 64bit version of SystemRescue in docker using these commands:

export sysrescuearch="x86_64"
./docker/build-docker-image.sh
./docker/build-iso-image.sh -v

Including your SystemRescueModules

If you want to include your own SystemRescueModules, place their srm files in the srm directory of the repository before running the build script.
