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