ISO 9660 volume labels allow only A-Z, 0-9, and underscore.
Dashes cause xorriso WARNING on every build.
EASY-BEE-NVIDIA → EASY_BEE_NVIDIA (iso-application keeps dashes, it's UDF).

- build.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd; separate work dirs per variant
(live-build-work-nvidia / live-build-work-amd); GPU-specific steps
(modules, NCCL, cuBLAS, nccl-tests) run only for nvidia; deb package
cache synced back to shared location after each lb build so second
variant reuses downloaded packages; ISO output named
easy-bee-{variant}-v{ver}-amd64.iso
- build-in-container.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd|all (default: all);
runs build.sh twice in one container for 'all'; --clean-build wipes
both variant work dirs
- package-lists: remove GPU packages from bee.list.chroot; add
bee-nvidia.list.chroot (DCGM) and bee-amd.list.chroot (ROCm)
- 9000-bee-setup hook: read /etc/bee-gpu-vendor; enable bee-nvidia.service
and DCGM only for nvidia; set up ROCm symlinks only for amd
- auto/config: --iso-volume uses BEE_GPU_VENDOR_UPPER env var
- grub.cfg: add nomodeset to EASY-BEE and EASY-BEE (load to RAM) entries
— fixes X/lightdm on BMC KVM (ASPEED AST chip requires nomodeset for
fbdev to work; NVIDIA H100 compute does not need KMS)
- bee.sh / smoketest.sh: add /usr/sbin to PATH so dmidecode, smartctl,
nvme are found
- 9100-memtest hook: add diagnostic listing of chroot/boot/memtest* files

- Switch squashfs compression from xz to zstd (3-5x faster compression,
~10-15% larger but decompresses faster at boot)
- Stop rm -rf BUILD_WORK_DIR on each build; rsync only config changes
so lb can reuse its chroot across builds (skips apt install step)
- Keep lb-packages cache in CACHE_ROOT as fallback if work dir is wiped

apt-cacher-ng requires a separate container; lb's own package cache
persisted in --cache-dir is simpler and sufficient.

Pass APT_PROXY=http://host:3142 to build-in-container.sh to route
all apt traffic through a local cache. Also supports --apt-proxy flag.
Mirrors in auto/config are set from BEE_APT_PROXY env when present.

toram was incorrectly added to the default bootappend-live causing
every boot to copy the full ISO to RAM (slow on BMC virtual media).
Default boot reads squashfs from media; toram is available as a
separate menu entry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Without toram the squashfs is read from the physical medium at runtime.
Disconnecting the USB/CD after boot causes SQUASHFS I/O errors on any
uncached block, making all X11 apps crash with SIGBUS.

- Add video=1920x1080 to kernel cmdline (sets fbdev to Full HD)
- Update GRUB gfxmode to 1920x1080 (fallback to 1280x1024,auto)
- Add Xorg Monitor section with 1920x1080 Modeline and preferred mode

Default boot no longer loads ISO to RAM (slow on BMC virtual media).
Separate menu entry added for toram in both GRUB and isolinux.

console=tty0 sent kernel messages to the active VT (tty1), overwriting
the TUI. Changed to console=tty2 so kernel logs land on a dedicated
console. tty1 is now clean; operator can press Alt+F2 to inspect kernel
messages and Alt+F3 for an extra shell.

loglevel=3 was hiding all kernel messages on tty0/ttyS0 except errors.
Machine crashes (panics, driver oops, module failures) were silent on VGA.
Restored loglevel=7 so kernel messages up to debug are printed to both
tty0 (VGA) and ttyS0 (SOL). Journald MaxLevelConsole reduced to info
(was debug) to reduce noise on SOL while keeping it useful.

Commit d36e844 dropped console=tty0 and added dual-serial + debug logging.
Without console=tty0 the kernel never initialises the VGA console,
leaving the physical screen permanently blank.
- Restore console=tty0 (VGA) as primary, keep console=ttyS0 for SOL
- Drop console=ttyS1 (redundant second serial port)
- Replace loglevel=7 + journald debug flood with loglevel=3 (errors only)
so kernel messages don't overwrite the TUI on the local screen
- Remove systemd.log_target/forward_to_console debug params

Export detected DEBIAN_KERNEL_ABI as BEE_KERNEL_ABI from build.sh so
auto/config can pin linux-packages to the exact versioned package
(e.g. linux-image-6.1.0-31 + flavour amd64 = linux-image-6.1.0-31-amd64).
This prevents nvidia.ko vermagic mismatch if the linux-image-amd64
meta-package is updated between build start and lb build chroot step.

live-build constructs the kernel package as <linux-packages>-<linux-flavours>,
so "linux-image-amd64" + "amd64" = "linux-image-amd64-amd64" (not found).
The correct value is "linux-image" + "amd64" = "linux-image-amd64".

Replace "Bee Hardware Audit" branding with EASY-BEE across bootloader
and LiveCD: grub.cfg menu entries, echo ASCII art before menu,
motd banner, iso-volume and iso-application metadata.

DEBIAN_KERNEL_ABI=auto in VERSIONS — build.sh queries
apt-cache depends linux-image-amd64 to find the current ABI.
lb config now uses linux-image-amd64 meta-package.
This prevents build failures when Debian drops old kernel packages
from the repo (happens with every point release).
