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_), Image name should begin with the following string, |
|
|
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**:: |
|
|
Don’t 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. This calls dracut with --no-hostonly and |
|
|
--no-hostonly-cmdline parameters internally, instead of the default |
|
|
--hostonly and --hostonly-cmdline. |
|
|
|
|
|
**-v, --verbose**:: |
|
|
increase verbosity level |
|
|
|
|
|
**-L**:: |
|
|
Disable logging to _/var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log_. This is useful for |
|
|
testing if you don’t want to clutter the system log. |
|
|
|
|
|
**--help**:: |
|
|
print a help message and exit. |
