raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.8
Releasing version 1.0.8 of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
The following changes are part of this release:
- Changed default release from wheezy to jessie.
- Changed the retrieval of date/time from rdate to ntpdate.
- Moved setting of
/tmp
to/etc/fstab
so it works across init systems. - Make sure kernel gets installed on all preset values. This fixes issue 253, issue 277 and issue 279.
- Improved the checks on the archive keys and extracted the code for it into separate functions.
- Added gzip compression to the cpio files to reduce the size of the installer.
- Changed setting of various filesystem parameter to be after loading of
online_config
so it can be set from there. - Various improvements to the build process.
- Various improvements to the documentation.

raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.7
Releasing version 1.0.7 of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- Added support for the Raspberry Pi 2. This fixes issue 180.
- Updated the kernel used during installation to 3.18.
- Removed the kernel-upgrade-script since it doesn't handle sections in /boot/config.txt. See raspbian-tools issue 2.
- Fixed the insecure downloading of the raspberrypi.org GPG key. This fixes issue 64.
- Increased the size of /boot/ to 128MB by default. This fixes issue 190.
- Fixed the kernel crashes/rainbow screens that happened with the rpi15 kernel. This fixes issue 199 and issue 201.
NOTES:
- This release also adds support for DeviceTree and this is enabled by default on the Pi 2.
For the Pi 1B and 1B+ it is disabled by default (in/boot/config.txt
) since it seems to be the cause for the various kernel crashes/rainbow screens. You can enable DeviceTree quite simple by commenting out or removing thedevice_tree=
line and it usually just works. But since we've had just too many crashes it is disabled by default. See also raspberrypi/linux#914. - When DeviceTree is enabled, the (red) power LED isn't working properly. Hopefully this will be resolved when a new kernel version is released.
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.7-RC
Releasing version 1.0.7-RC of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- Fixed most of kernel crashes/rainbow screens that happened with the rpi15 kernel. This fixes issue 199 and issue 201.
- Increased the size of /boot/ to 128MB by default. This fixes issue 190.
- Added a workaround for too old firmware files in the official archive which prevented the installer to boot on a Pi 1B/1B+.
This release also adds the following new functionality:
- Support for Device Tree.
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
NOTE:
The installed system sometimes fails to boot. The exact cause for this is not (yet) known.
With the following workaround in post-install.txt I have not gotten a crash again, but usually it's not needed (and it shouldn't).
# update the firmware files, which reduces kernel crashes
FIRMWARE_ARCHIVE=raspberrypi-firmware-20150420.zip
if [ -f /bootfs/config/${FIRMWARE_ARCHIVE} ] ; then
echo -n "Updating firmware files with snapshot from git..."
unzip -qo /bootfs/config/${FIRMWARE_ARCHIVE} -d /rootfs/boot/
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "OK"
else
echo "FAILED !"
fi
fi
# also disable device tree to further reduce kernel crashes
echo "device_tree=" >> /rootfs/boot/config.txt
raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.7-beta
Releasing version 1.0.7-beta of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- Added support for the Raspberry Pi 2. This fixes issue 180.
- Updated the kernel used during installation to 3.18.
- Removed the kernel-upgrade-script since it doesn't handle sections in /boot/config.txt. See raspbian-tools issue 2.
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
EDIT: I've renamed the files to be consistent with the other releases.
So if you've downloaded a file named raspbian-ua-netinst-20150305-gitf31b204.* that's exactly the same as raspbian-ua-netinst-v1.0.7-beta.*
raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.6
Releasing version 1.0.6 of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- Updated the kernel used during installation to 3.12.
- The kernel modules needed as dependency of other modules are now dynamically determined.
- Lots of documentation corrections/improvements/etc.
- Set the console blank timeout to 1 hour so that (normally) the whole installation process can be viewed.
- Added script which handles kernel upgrades. This fixes issue 88 and issue 89
- Changed permissions on log file so it is not world readable any more. This fixes issue 106.
This release also adds the following new functionality:
- Introduction of the
config
directory. Files and folders placed in that directory are made available in/boot/config/
for further processing during the installation.
It is strongly recommended to place all your configuration files and folders inside theconfig
directory. - When building the installer the
config
directory,installer-config.txt
andpost-install.txt
are automatically packed inside the generated image/archive, so you won't have to do that manually afterwards any more. - Added support for the serial console on the installed system. This fixes issue 57. The serial console can also be used during installation, but you'd have to modify
cmdline.txt
for that (place thettyAMA0
parameters at the end). - Timing of the start/end and the durarion of the installation.
- Also create images compressed with bz2 which should be easier to use on a Mac.
Other changes:
- Added @goranche as official collaborator to the project.
- Code re-organization for better maintainability.
- Added workaround for non-working busybox-static (full story).
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.5
Releasing version 1.0.5 of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- When there were multiple logfiles of failures, they weren't all copied properly. Now they are.
This release also adds the following new functionality:
- Addition of the following commands: vcgencmd, edidparser, tvservice, vcdbg
and vchiq_test.
The libraspberrypi-bin package is installed from the raspbian archive, thus available where ever you are, without additional configuration. This fixes issue #65.
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.4
Releasing version 1.0.4 of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- Raspberry Pi Model B+ is now also supported.
Thanks to plugwash for packaging the updated firmware files. This fixes issue #73.
This release also adds the following new functionality:
- Logging of the installation process.
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
raspbian-ua-netinst v1.0.3
Releasing version 1.0.3 of the Raspbian unattended netinstaller.
This release fixes the following issues:
- Downloaded packages are now verified against the signing key and the GPG keys
are now included in the installer. This means that the '--allow-unauthenticated' parameter
of debootstrap is now removed :-)
Thanks a lot to Jim Turner for providing the pull request which implemented this!
This closes issues #55 and #66. - Removed an invalid mount parameter for f2fs. This closes issue #67.
- The kernel version and thereby the initramfs version is now dynamically
determined at install time, so that a new kernel version won't break the
installer anymore. This fixes issue #68. - Fixed the check for the losetup version.
- Made retrieving/setting the date/time more resilient.
- Update the project URL as displayed during install.
See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.
