Dev-mode only boots official kernels by default
Although we're now using a single unified BIOS, it is pretty nice to be able to get a shell in developer mode while still using verified boot for the kernel and filesystem. Alex & ZGB implemented this by requiring the dev-mode user to install a special dev-mode BIOS. We don't do that, but we DO require setting a special flag with "crossystem" to accomplish the same thing. In order to allow booting a self-signed kernel, you must boot in developer mode, open a shell, and run this: crossystem dev_boot_custom=1 Special note to internal developers: If you're in the habit (as I am) of booting directly from a USB stick in dev-mode, you'll have to run this: crossystem dev_boot_custom=1 dev_boot_usb=1 Just using dev_boot_usb=1 is no longer enough, because the USB kernel is signed using the recovery key and by pressing Ctrl-U, we validate it with the kernel data key. That worked before this change because any self-signed kernel was fine, and that's how the USB key was treated. Now it actually requires a verified signature until you enable dev_boot_custom=1 also. BUG=chrome-os-partner:5954 TEST=manual Boot once in normal mode, which clears the special flags. Then switch to developer mode. You should be able to boot and get a root shell. Run crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 Obtain a USB recovery image that's keyed differently. For example, if you're testing with dev-keys, use a PVT-signed image or vice-versa. Reboot into dev-mode with the USB recovery stick inserted. At the dev-mode screen, press Ctrl-U. You should hear a single beep, but it should not boot. Press Ctrl-D to boot from the hard drive, log in to a shell and run crossystem dev_boot_custom=1 Repeat the previous test. This time when you press Ctrl-U, it should boot the recovery image. Turn the system off before it does anything. That's it.
