+MKINITRD(8)
+===========
+:doctype: manpage
+:man source:   dracut
+:man manual:   dracut
+
+NAME
+----
+mkinitrd-suse - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*mkinitrd* ['OPTION...']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*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.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+**-R, --version**::
+    print info about the version
+
+**-k** _<kernel_list>_::
+    List of kernel images for which initrd files are created (relative
+    to _boot_dir_), 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.
+
+**-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.
+
+**--force**::
+    overwrite existing initramfs file.
+
+**--help**::
+    print a help message and exit.
