• Normalize CWD inside container to PROJECT_ROOT to prevent relative path issues in validation and downstream stages via [bash.setup_build_environment()](scripts/build.sh:133)
• Complements earlier hardening in [bash.initramfs_validate()](scripts/lib/initramfs.sh:774) that resolves absolute paths and checks existence
• scripts/lib/initramfs.sh: write /etc/ntp.conf, symlink ntpd.conf if absent; compute absolute output path before cd so cpio|xz redirection works; emit verification logs around initramfs_finalize_customization()
• config/zinit/init/ntpd.sh: robust parsing of kernel ntp=, safe defaults, and launch BusyBox ntpd with -p servers
- Remove component copying from build functions (build_zinit, build_rfs, etc)
- Add initramfs_copy_components() function to copy built components to initramfs
- Add components_copy stage between init_script and modules_setup
- Fix components_verify to check built components (not initramfs locations)
- Now supports partial builds: build components separately, copy later
- All 4 components (zinit 8.1M, rfs 13M, mycelium 21M, corex 4.0M) working
- Copy configs/init as /sbin/init instead of creating symlink to zinit
- Remove automatic cleanup of build artifacts - always preserve for incremental builds
- Allows rebuilding initramfs with existing components
- Use ./scripts/clean.sh to manually clean when needed
- Use depmod -av + modinfo -k approach for accurate dependency detection
- Copy modules to container /lib/modules for proper modinfo -k usage
- Recursive resolution until no more dependencies found
- Copy resolved modules to initramfs + run final depmod in chroot context
- Now properly finds missing core modules like virtio.ko, virtio_ring.ko
- Validates symbol dependencies with proper module database
- Fixed KERNEL_OUTPUT variable binding in build summary
- Fix dependency resolution to use built modules from /lib/modules/6.12.44-Zero-OS instead of fresh container
- Fix stage1/stage2 configuration mismatch (only using stage1 modules as intended)
- Fix firmware parsing to ignore comments in modules.conf
- Fix variable binding issues for incremental builds (FULL_KERNEL_VERSION, KERNEL_OUTPUT)
- Module resolution now properly expands 31 → 48 modules with dependencies
- Firmware requirements reduced from 157 bogus → 3 correct packages
- All 48/48 resolved modules validated as available .ko files
- Fix container output visibility with proper TTY handling and debug mode
- Fix build order: kernel modules built before initramfs creation
- Implement two-stage kernel build to resolve chicken-and-egg dependency
- Fix sed command issues in kernel configuration with direct execution
- Add diffutils package to container for proper kernel build support
- Enhance NIC module/firmware correlation with intelligent selection
- Fix module staging logic: all NICs loaded in stage1 before network up
- Add smart firmware installation based on module requirements
- Create comprehensive function documentation (scripts/functionlist.md)
- Add debug container script for troubleshooting
Major fixes:
* Container builds now show real-time output
* Kernel builds work with proper GNU diff support
* Module/firmware selection optimized for common hardware
* Build process handles dependencies correctly
* Documentation provides complete function reference
- Remove --no-container option (never build on real host)
- Simplify build.sh to always use containers
- Fix Dockerfile user permissions
- Update help text and argument parsing
- Pass arguments correctly to container builds
- Add Alpine firmware package installation support
- Implement recursive module dependency resolution using modinfo
- Add config/firmware.conf for NIC firmware selection
- Enhanced initramfs_setup_modules with dependency tracking
- Firmware installation integrated into main build process
Features:
- Automatic dependency resolution for kernel modules
- Alpine's separate firmware APK packages for optimal size
- Stage1/Stage2 module loading with complete dependencies
- No duplicate modules between stages
