NAME
mkosi-initrd — Build initrds or unified kernel images for the current system using mkosi
SYNOPSIS
mkosi-initrd [options...]
DESCRIPTION
mkosi-initrd is wrapper on top of mkosi to simplify the generation of initrds and Unified Kernel Images for the current running system.
OPTIONS
- --kernel-version=, -k
- Kernel version where to look for the kernel modules to include. Defaults to the kernel version of the running system (uname -r).
- --format=, -t
- Output format. One of cpio (CPIO archive), uki (a unified kernel image with the image in the .initrd PE section) or directory (for generating an image directly in a local directory). Defaults to cpio.
- --output=, -o
- Name to use for the generated output image file or directory. Defaults to initrd.
- --output-dir=, -O
- Path to a directory where to place all generated artifacts. Defaults to the current working directory.
- --generic, -g
- Build a generic initrd without host-specific kernel modules, which should allow the local system to boot on different hardware, although it’s tied to the kernel version of the running system or set with --kernel-version=.
- --profile=
- Set the profiles to enable for the initrd. By default, all profiles are disabled.
The lvm profile enables support for LVM. The
network profile enables support for network via
systemd-networkd. The nfs profile enables support for NFS. It
requires networking in the initrd, using the network profile, or some
other custom method. The pkcs11 profile enables support for PKCS#11.
The plymouth profile provides a graphical interface at boot (animation
and password prompt). The raid profile enables support for RAID
arrays.
- --debug
- Enable additional debugging output.
- --debug-shell
- Spawn debug shell in sandbox if a sandboxed command fails.
- --debug-sandbox
- Run mkosi-sandbox with strace.
- --version
- Show package version.
- --help, -h
- Show brief usage information.
