DESCRIPTION
new-kernel-pkg is a tool used in packaging to automate the installation of a new kernel, including the creation of an initial ram filesys- tem image, updating of bootloader configuration, and other associated tasks.
OPTIONS
-v Be verbose. --mkinitrd Create a new initial ram filesystem image. --rminitrd Remove an initial ram filesystem image. --dracut When creating a new initial ram filesystem image, use dracut(8) rather than mkinitrd(8). Used in conjunction with --mkinitrd . --initrdfile=initrd-image Use the specified file as the initial ram filesystem image. --depmod Create modules.dep and related files. --rmmoddep Remove modules.dep and related files. --kernel-args=args Use args as the boot command line for this kernel. --remove-args=args Remove specified kernel arguments for this kernel. --banner=banner Display banner as the banner text in the bootloader. --multiboot=multiboot-image Use multiboot-image as a multiboot image. --mbargs=mbargs Use mbargs as arguments to the multiboot image. --make-default Make this kernel the default boot option. --add-dracut-args Automatically generate dracut options and add them to the kernel command line. --add-plymouth-initrd Automatically add plymouth to the initial ram filesystem image. --host-only Make an initial ram filesystem image that is specific to the running system. --install kernel-version Install a new kernel. --remove kernel-version Remove an installed kernel. --update kernel-version Update the specified kernel. --rpmposttrans kernel-version Run the rpmposttrans for the specified kernel.
