Hi all, since the "integrity-check" boot options does not work (#507477), while I'm looking at a fix for it I wonder if it makes sense how it is intended to work at all.
As intended now, it checks via md5sum the content of the media (e.g the cd) and then it reboots in any case after 60 seconds from the end. The standard input and output are redirected to vt8 without swithching to it, so if one does not know this, they are not shown at all. Is this the correct behaviour in your opinion? I propose: 1. Let it work as intended but just skip the reboot phase, that way it will just check md5sum before doing a normal boot, maybe telling the user to switch to VT8 in order to check the results. 2. Do the reboot only in case of md5sum success, but display md5sum information on video, and drop to a busybox in case of errors to look the failed files. This to have a permanent boot option, like "memtest86+" only to check cd integrity. To handle that case I suggest to move the integrity check before mounting the rootfs in order to speed up things. 3. Other options, please elaborate. P.S. to fix as it should work now, I prepared a simple commit. -- ESC:wq -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
