NAME
mkinitramfs - generate an initramfs imageSYNOPSIS
mkinitramfs [-d confdir] [-k] [-o outfile] [-r root] [version]mkinitramfs [--supported-host-version= hversion]
mkinitramfs [--supported-target-version= tversion]
DESCRIPTION
The mkinitramfs script generates an initramfs image. The initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive. The archive can be used on a different box of the same arch with the corresponding Linux kernel. mkinitramfs is meant for advanced usage. On your local box update-initramfs should do all necessary steps.At boot time, the kernel unpacks that archive into RAM disk, mounts and uses it as initial root file system. All finding of the root device happens in this early userspace.
OPTIONS
- -d confdir
- Set an alternate configuration directory.
- -k
- Keep the temporary directory used to make the image.
- -o outfile
- Write the image to outfile.
- -r root
- Override the ROOT setting in initramfs.conf.
- version
- Set the kernel version of the initramfs image (defaults to the running kernel).
- --supported-host-version=hversion
- This option queries if mkinitramfs can create ramdisks on a running kernel of version hversion.
- --supported-target-version=tversion
- This option queries if mkinitramfs can create ramdisks for kernel version tversion.
FILES
- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
- The default configuration file for the script. See initramfs.conf(5) for a description of the available configuration parameter.
- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
- Specified modules will be put in the generated image and loaded when the system boots. The format - one per line - is identical to that of /etc/modules, which is described in modules(5).
- /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d
- The conf.d directory allows to hardcode bootargs at initramfs build time via config snippets. This allows to set ROOT or RESUME. This is especially useful for bootloaders, which do not pass an root bootarg.
- /etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml
- If this file exists, it will be appended to the initramfs in a way that causes it to be loaded by ACPI.
