MKINITRD(8)                         dracut                         MKINITRD(8)

NAME
       mkinitrd - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an
       initramfs
SYNOPSIS
       mkinitrd [OPTION...] [<initrd-image>] <kernel-version>
DESCRIPTION
       mkinitrd creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
       version <kernel-version> by calling "dracut".
           Important
           If a more fine grained control over the resulting image is needed,
           "dracut" should be called directly.
OPTIONS
       --version
           print info about the version
       -v, --verbose
           increase verbosity level
       -f, --force
           overwrite existing initramfs file.
       *--image-version
           append the kernel version to the target image
           <initrd-image>-<kernel-version>.
       --with=<module>
           add the kernel module <module> to the initramfs.
       --preload=<module>
           preload the kernel module <module> in the initramfs before any
           other kernel modules are loaded. This can be used to ensure a
           certain device naming, which should in theory be avoided and the
           use of symbolic links in /dev is encouraged.
       --nocompress
           do not compress the resulting image.
       --help
           print a help message and exit.
AVAILABILITY
       The mkinitrd command is part of the dracut package and is available
       from https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org
