mkinitrd
MKINITRD(8) dracut MKINITRD(8)
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.
AVAILABILITY
The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available from https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org
