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
