NAME
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
mkinitrd - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
*mkinitrd* ['OPTION...'] [<initrd-image>] <kernel-version>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
mkinitrd creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
|
|
|
|
|
version <kernel-version> by calling "dracut".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
|
|
|
If a more fine grained control over the resulting image is needed,
|
|
|
|
|
"dracut" should be called directly.

OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
**--version**::
|
|
|
|
|
print info about the version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
increase verbosity level

|
|
|
|
**-f, --force**::
|
|
|
|
|
overwrite existing initramfs file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**--image-version*::
|
|
|
|
|
append the kernel version to the target image
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
**--with=<module>**::

|
|
preload the kernel module <module> in the initramfs before any other kernel

|
|
|
|

which should in theory be avoided and the use of symbolic links in /dev is

|
|
encouraged.
