14 *mkinitrd* ['OPTION...'] [<initrd-image>] <kernel-version>
18 mkinitrd creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
19 version <kernel-version> by calling "dracut".
22 If a more fine grained control over the resulting image is needed,
23 "dracut" should be called directly.

37 append the kernel version to the target image

41 add the kernel module <module> to the initramfs.

44 preload the kernel module <module> in the initramfs before any other kernel
45 modules are loaded. This can be used to ensure a certain device naming,
