9 mkinitrd - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs
13 *mkinitrd* ['OPTION...'] [<initrd-image>] <kernel-version>
17 mkinitrd creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
18 version <kernel-version> by calling "dracut".
21 If a more fine grained control over the resulting image is needed,
22 "dracut" should be called directly.
27 print info about the version
30 increase verbosity level
33 overwrite existing initramfs file.
36 append the kernel version to the target image
37 <initrd-image>-<kernel-version>.
40 add the kernel module <module> to the initramfs.
42 **--preload=<module>**::
43 preload the kernel module <module> in the initramfs before any other kernel
44 modules are loaded. This can be used to ensure a certain device naming,
45 which should in theory be avoided and the use of symbolic links in /dev is
49 do not compress the resulting image.
