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 |
|
|
|
**-v, --verbose**:: |
|
increase verbosity level |
|
|
|
**-f, --force**:: |
|
overwrite existing initramfs file. |
|
|
|
**--image-version*:: |
|
append the kernel version to the target image |
|
<initrd-image>-<kernel-version>. |
|
|
|
**--with=<module>**:: |
|
add the kernel module <module> to the initramfs. |
|
|
|
**--preload=<module>**:: |
|
preload the kernel module <module> in the initramfs before any other kernel |
|
modules are loaded. This can be used to ensure a certain device naming, |
|
which should in theory be avoided and the use of symbolic links in /dev is |
|
encouraged. |
|
|
|
**--nocompress**:: |
|
do not compress the resulting image. |
|
|
|
**--help**:: |
|
print a help message and exit. |
|
|
