NAME

linux_mkinitrd - script to interface to multiple initrd tool variants

SYNOPSIS

linux_mkinitrd [RELEASE_TAG] [TARGET_DIR]

DESCRIPTION

This script provides a handy wrapper around several different mkinitrd tools (e.g. mkinitrd, mkinitrc, mkinitramfs, yaird). It scans the system for the tools and uses the first it finds, invoking it with the correct syntax to create an init file.

Regardless of the initrd tool used, the initrd file will be named in the same fashion: $TARGET_DIR/initrd.img-$RELEASE_TAG.

If not specified, $TARGET_DIR defaults to /boot. $RELEASE_TAG defaults to "test".
