kernel-version

Specify the kernel used for creating an initial RAM disk image file.

Example

The following shows an execution example for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:


/opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmmkinitrd /boot/initrd-
2.6.18-194.el5-hdlm.img `uname -r`

(2) For SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 or SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11

When creating an initial RAM disk image file, you can do so without specifying the

image file name and the path for the file to be created, or you can specify these

parameters.
When omitting the parameter specification:

Use the kernel that is currently running to create an initial RAM disk image file

in the

/boot

directory.

The default initial RAM disk image file name for the

vmlinuz-

version kernel is

initrd-

version

.hdlm

.

Example:

The name of the initial RAM disk image file for the

vmlinuz-2.6.16.46-0.14-bigsmp

kernel is

initrd-2.6.16.46-0.14-bigsmp.hdlm

.

-i

initrd-image

Specify the name of the initial RAM disk image file to be created by using the

dlmmkinitrd

utility. This parameter is used to create an initial RAM disk image

file with a name other than the default file name (

initrd-

version

.hdlm

).

If you specify the full path of the initial RAM disk image file:

Even if you specify the

-b

parameter at the same time, the parameter

specification is ignored.

If you specify the relative path of the initial RAM disk image file and do not

specify the

-b

parameter:

The path is assumed to be the relative path from the

/boot

directory.

If you specify the relative path of the initial RAM disk image file and the

-b

parameter:

The path is assumed to be the relative path from the location in which the

initial RAM disk image file is to be created, which is specified by the

-b
