MKINITRD(8)
===========

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.

OPTIONS
-------
**-R, --version**::
print info about the version

**-k** _<kernel_list>_::
List of kernel images for which initrd files are created (relative
to _boot_dir_), defaults to _vmlinux_ on ppc/ppc64, _image_ on s390/s390x
and _vmlinuz_ for everything else.

**-i** _<initrd_list>_::
List of file names (relative to _boot_dir_) for the initrd; positions
have to match the _kernel_list_. Defaults to _initrd_.

**-m** _<module_list>_::
Modules to include in initrd, defaults to _INITRD_MODULES_ variable
in */etc/sysconfig/kernel*.

**-f** _<feature_list>_::
Features to be enabled for the initrd. In general mkinitrd
configures the initrd for the root device it is started from. With
this option additional feature can be enabled.

**-b** _<bootdir>_::
Boot directory, defaults to */boot*, where the initrd is created.

**-d** _<root_device>_::
Root device, defaults to the device from which the root_dir is
mounted; overwrites the rootdev enviroment variable if set

**-s** _<size>_::
Add splash animation and bootscreen to initrd.

**-D** _<interface>::
Run dhcp on the specified interface (for example "eth0").

**-I** _<interface>::
Configure the specified interface statically.

**-a** _<acpi_dsdt>::
Attach compiled ACPI DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table)
to initrd. This replaces the DSDT of the BIOS. Defaults to the
_ACPI_DSDT_ variable in */etc/sysconfig/kernel*.

**-M** _<map>::
System.map file to use.

**-B**::
Dont run the *update-bootloader(8)* script after the initrd(s) have
been created. This is useful if you call mkinitrd(8) for anything
else than the running system.

**-A**::
Create a so called "monster initrd" which includes all available
features and modules.

**-v, --verbose**::
increase verbosity level

**-L**::
Disable logging to _/var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log_. This is useful for
testing if you dont want to clutter the system log.

**--force**::
overwrite existing initramfs file.

**--help**::
print a help message and exit.

------------
The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available from
