MKINITRD(8) dracut MKINITRD(8)
mkinitrd - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an
initramfs
mkinitrd [OPTION...] [<initrd-image>] <kernel-version>
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.
--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.
The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available
from https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org
