-v |
Be verbose. |
-−mkinitrd
Create a new initial ram filesystem image.
-−rminitrd
Remove an initial ram filesystem image.
-−dracut
When creating a new initial ram filesystem image, use dracut(8) rather than mkinitrd(8). Used in conjunction with -−mkinitrd .
-−initrdfile=initrd-image
Use the specified file as the initial ram filesystem image.
-−depmod
Create modules.dep and related files.
-−rmmoddep
Remove modules.dep and related files.
-−kernel-args=args
Use args as the boot command line for this kernel.
-−remove-args=args
Remove specified kernel arguments for this kernel.
-−banner=banner
Display banner as the banner text in the bootloader.
-−multiboot=multiboot-image
Use multiboot-image as a multiboot image.
-−mbargs=mbargs
Use mbargs as arguments to the multiboot image.
-−make-default
Make this kernel the default boot option.
-−add-dracut-args
Automatically generate dracut options and add them to the kernel command line.
-−add-plymouth-initrd
Automatically add plymouth to the initial ram filesystem image.
-−host-only
Make an initial ram filesystem image that is specific to the running system.
-−install kernel-version
Install a new kernel.
-−remove kernel-version
Remove an installed kernel.
-−update kernel-version
Update the specified kernel.
-−rpmposttrans kernel-version
Run the rpmposttrans for the specified kernel.
