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**::
|
||
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.

|
||
**-v, --verbose**::
|

|
||
|
||
**-L**::

|
||
overwrite existing initramfs file.
