mkinitrd-suse - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs

Authors

       Harald Hoyer, Hannes Reinecke

Availability

       The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available from https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org

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 compatibility with older versions of mkinitrd. If a more
           fine grained control over the resulting image is needed, dracut should be called directly.

Name

       mkinitrd-suse - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs

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), 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
           environment 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.
