NAME
|
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkinitrd-suse - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
*mkinitrd* ['OPTION...']
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
*mkinitrd* creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
|
|
|
|
|
|
version <kernel-version> by calling *dracut*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version of mkinitrd is provided for compability with older
|
|
|
|
|
|
versions of mkinitrd. If a more fine grained control over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
resulting image is needed, *dracut* should be called directly.
