-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.
