# mkinitrd

建立要载入ramdisk的映像文件

## 补充说明

**mkinitrd命令** 建立要载入ramdisk的映像文件，以供Linux开机时载入ramdisk。

这个是重新封包核心的命令，例如你自己修改了一个设备的驱动，如果这个驱动要加入核心级别的话，就需要对核心进行重新封包，把新加的配置编译到核心内部去！

### 语法

```
mkinitrd(选项)(参数)
```

### 选项

```
-f：若指定的映像问家名称与现有文件重复，则覆盖现有的文件；
-v：执行时显示详细的信息；
--omit-scsi-modules：不要载入SCSI模块；
--preload=<模块名称>：指定要载入的模块；
--with=<模块名称>：指定要载入的模块；
--version：显示版本信息。
```

### 参数

* 映像文件：指定要创建的映像文件；
* 内核版本：指定内核版本。

### 实例

```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hezhiqiang.gitbook.io/linux/ming-ling/mkinitrd.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
