# mkinitcpio
|
|
|
|
> Generates initial ramdisk environments for booting the Linux kernel based on the specified preset(s).
|
|
> More information: <https://man.archlinux.org/man/mkinitcpio.8>.
|
|
|
|
- Perform a dry run (print what would be done without actually doing it):
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio`
|
|
|
|
- Generate a ramdisk environment based on the `linux` preset:
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --preset {{linux}}`
|
|
|
|
- Generate a ramdisk environment based on the `linux-lts` preset:
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --preset {{linux-lts}}`
|
|
|
|
- Generate ramdisk environments based on all existing presets (used to regenerate all the initramfs images after a change in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`):
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --allpresets`
|
|
|
|
- Generate an initramfs image using an alternative configuration file:
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --config {{path/to/mkinitcpio.conf}} --generate {{path/to/initramfs.img}}`
|
|
|
|
- Generate an initramfs image for a kernel other than the one currently running (the installed kernel releases can be found in `/usr/lib/modules/`):
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --kernel {{kernel_version}} --generate {{path/to/initramfs.img}}`
|
|
|
|
- List all available hooks:
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --listhooks`
|
|
|
|
- Display help for a specific hook:
|
|
|
|
`mkinitcpio --hookhelp {{hook_name}}`
