+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.

+

+AVAILABILITY

+------------

+The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available from

+link:$$https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org$$[https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org]
