mkinitrd
Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules
|
Signature : DSA/SHA1, Fri Jul 2 00:27:47 2004, Key ID a84edae89c800aca Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd) images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem. In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The ramdisk loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the root filesystem. |
