To actually provide an answer: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In your spec you specify boot/kernel: followed by an arbitrary number of |
| 22 |
arbitrary kernel names for your livecd, following that you are required |
| 23 |
to have a block of config options describing each of those kernels. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So for example, lets take the spec for the 2007.0 release media for |
| 26 |
ppc64. First we specify: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
boot/kernel: ibmpower G5 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
What that states is that we are going to have two kernels on this CD, |
| 31 |
one with the name of ibmpower and the other with the name of G5. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Next we describe these kernels: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
## IBM hardware |
| 36 |
boot/kernel/ibmpower/sources: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
| 37 |
boot/kernel/ibmpower/use: usb extlib |
| 38 |
boot/kernel/ibmpower/config: /2007.0/kernel_configs/installcd-power-gentoo.config |
| 39 |
boot/kernel/ibmpower/console: ttyS0,9600 hvc0 hvsi0 |
| 40 |
boot/kernel/ibmpower/machine_type: ibm |
| 41 |
boot/kernel/ibmpower/extraversion: ibm |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
## Apple hardware |
| 44 |
boot/kernel/G5/sources: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
| 45 |
boot/kernel/G5/use: usb extlib |
| 46 |
boot/kernel/G5/config: /2007.0/kernel_configs/installcd-G5-gentoo.config |
| 47 |
boot/kernel/G5/console: ttyS0,57600 |
| 48 |
boot/kernel/G5/extraversion: G5 |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
As you can see above the third parameter (what Chris calls $x or |
| 51 |
pinkponies and you call [boot/kernel:x]) comes from the list of kernel |
| 52 |
names provided in boot/kernel. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Hope that answers your question. |
