Add hardware detection and automatic driver installation during system installation. This includes:
- Virtualization platform detection with automatic guest tools configuration
- Automatic GPU driver installation (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)
- Removal of incompatible guest tools for other hypervisors
- Network-resilient installation (non-blocking if network unavailable)
The detection uses the fws-hw-detect script which provides the same hardware information shown to the user in the live environment summary screen. This ensures what was announced to the user is what gets applied during installation.
Update section numbering in kickstart file to accommodate the new hardware configuration step.
- Add kernel copy step in %pre to ensure vmlinuz-linux is available for mkinitcpio
- Refactor xinitrc post-install log detection to use /tmp/fws-post-chroot.log copied by kickstart
- Add success detection based on mkinitcpio and grub-install log markers
- Display success screen and poweroff on successful installation, show debug logs on failure
- Add load_policy and setstatus stub scripts to suppress SELinux-related Anaconda warnings
- Force MBR partition table (--disklabel=msdos) for BIOS boot compatibility
- Create standard mkinitcpio preset to replace archiso-specific configuration
- Automatically inject lvm2 hook when root is on LVM
- Fix GRUB installation to properly extract disk path from lsblk output
- Downgrade version to 0.5.3 (development/testing release)
- Add fallback GRUB installation for UEFI systems using --removable flag to ensure boot without NVRAM entries
- Fix BIOS disk detection for LVM root partitions by using lsblk with proper filtering instead of pkname
- Enhance debug logging to include %post chroot phase logs (fws-post.log) which indicate bootloader success
- Automatically mount and retrieve installation logs from the installed disk to verify bootloader installation
- Add detailed comments explaining UEFI/BIOS fallback strategies and LVM-aware disk detection
These changes ensure the system can boot even when NVRAM entries are missing or forgotten by firmware, and provide better visibility into bootloader installation success during the debug phase.
Add zerombr and clearpart commands to ensure clean disk state before installation.
This prevents issues when reinstalling on previously partitioned disks by:
- Reinitializing invalid partition tables (zerombr)
- Removing all partitions from all disks (clearpart --all)
- Writing a fresh disk label (--initlabel)
This makes reinstallation reliable even on disks with previous installations,
while allowing users to override defaults via the GUI if needed.
