9 mkinitrd-suse - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs
13 *mkinitrd* ['OPTION...']
17 *mkinitrd* creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
18 version <kernel-version> by calling *dracut*.
21 This version of mkinitrd is provided for compability with older
22 versions of mkinitrd. If a more fine grained control over the
23 resulting image is needed, *dracut* should be called directly.
28 print info about the version
30 **-k** _<kernel_list>_::
31 List of kernel images for which initrd files are created (relative
32 to _boot_dir_), Image name should begin with the following string,
33 defaults to _vmlinux_ on ppc/ppc64, _image_ on s390/s390x and _vmlinuz_
36 **-i** _<initrd_list>_::
37 List of file names (relative to _boot_dir_) for the initrd; positions
38 have to match the _kernel_list_. Defaults to _initrd_.
40 **-m** _<module_list>_::
41 Modules to include in initrd, defaults to _INITRD_MODULES_ variable
42 in */etc/sysconfig/kernel*.
44 **-f** _<feature_list>_::
45 Features to be enabled for the initrd. In general mkinitrd
46 configures the initrd for the root device it is started from. With
47 this option additional feature can be enabled.
50 Boot directory, defaults to */boot*, where the initrd is created.
52 **-d** _<root_device>_::
53 Root device, defaults to the device from which the root_dir is
54 mounted; overwrites the rootdev enviroment variable if set
57 Add splash animation and bootscreen to initrd.
60 Run dhcp on the specified interface (for example "eth0").
63 Configure the specified interface statically.
66 Attach compiled ACPI DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table)
67 to initrd. This replaces the DSDT of the BIOS. Defaults to the
68 _ACPI_DSDT_ variable in */etc/sysconfig/kernel*.
71 System.map file to use.
74 Don’t run the *update-bootloader(8)* script after the initrd(s) have
75 been created. This is useful if you call mkinitrd(8) for anything
76 else than the running system.
79 Create a so called "monster initrd" which includes all available
80 features and modules. This calls dracut with --no-hostonly and
81 --no-hostonly-cmdline parameters internally, instead of the default
82 --hostonly and --hostonly-cmdline.
85 increase verbosity level
88 Disable logging to _/var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log_. This is useful for
89 testing if you don’t want to clutter the system log.
92 print a help message and exit.
96 The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available from
