+MKINITRD(8)
+===========
+:doctype: manpage
+:man source: dracut
+:man manual: dracut
+
+NAME
+----
+mkinitrd-suse - is a compat wrapper, which calls dracut to generate an initramfs
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*mkinitrd* ['OPTION...']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*mkinitrd* creates an initramfs image <initrd-image> for the kernel with
+version <kernel-version> by calling *dracut*.
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+This version of mkinitrd is provided for compability with older
+versions of mkinitrd. If a more fine grained control over the
+resulting image is needed, *dracut* should be called directly.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+**-R, --version**::
+ print info about the version
+
+**-k** _<kernel_list>_::
+ List of kernel images for which initrd files are created (relative
+ to _boot_dir_), defaults to _vmlinux_ on ppc/ppc64, _image_ on s390/s390x
+ and _vmlinuz_ for everything else.
+
+**-i** _<initrd_list>_::
+ List of file names (relative to _boot_dir_) for the initrd; positions
+ have to match the _kernel_list_. Defaults to _initrd_.
+
+**-m** _<module_list>_::
+ Modules to include in initrd, defaults to _INITRD_MODULES_ variable
+ in */etc/sysconfig/kernel*.
+
+**-f** _<feature_list>_::
+ Features to be enabled for the initrd. In general mkinitrd
+ configures the initrd for the root device it is started from. With
+ this option additional feature can be enabled.
+
+**-b** _<bootdir>_::
+ Boot directory, defaults to */boot*, where the initrd is created.
+
+**-d** _<root_device>_::
+ Root device, defaults to the device from which the root_dir is
+ mounted; overwrites the rootdev enviroment variable if set
+
+**-s** _<size>_::
+ Add splash animation and bootscreen to initrd.
+
+**-D** _<interface>::
+ Run dhcp on the specified interface (for example "eth0").
+
+**-I** _<interface>::
+ Configure the specified interface statically.
+
+**-a** _<acpi_dsdt>::
+ Attach compiled ACPI DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table)
+ to initrd. This replaces the DSDT of the BIOS. Defaults to the
+ _ACPI_DSDT_ variable in */etc/sysconfig/kernel*.
+
+**-M** _<map>::
+ System.map file to use.
+
+**-B**::
+ Dont run the *update-bootloader(8)* script after the initrd(s) have
+ been created. This is useful if you call mkinitrd(8) for anything
+ else than the running system.
+
+**-A**::
+ Create a so called "monster initrd" which includes all available
+ features and modules.
+
+**-v, --verbose**::
+ increase verbosity level
+
+**-L**::
+ Disable logging to _/var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log_. This is useful for
+ testing if you dont want to clutter the system log.
+
+**--force**::
+ overwrite existing initramfs file.
+
+**--help**::
+ print a help message and exit.
+
