14 | .SH DESCRIPTION | ||
15 | \fBnew-kernel-pkg\fR is a tool used in packaging to automate the installation | ||
16 | of a new kernel, including the creation of an initial ram filesystem image, | ||
17 | updating of bootloader configuration, and other associated tasks. | ||
18 | |||
19 | .SH OPTIONS | ||
20 | .TP | ||
21 | \fB-v\fR | ||
22 | Be verbose. | ||
23 | |||
24 | .TP | ||
25 | \fB-\-mkinitrd\fR | ||
26 | Create a new initial ram filesystem image. | ||
27 | |||
28 | .TP | ||
29 | \fB-\-rminitrd\fR | ||
30 | Remove an initial ram filesystem image. | ||
31 | |||
32 | .TP | ||
33 | niro | 2685 | \fB-\-devtree\fR=\fIdevicetree.dtb\fR |
34 | Use \fIdevicetree.dtb\fR as the device tree file in place of any devicetree | ||
35 | directive from the template stanza. | ||
36 | |||
37 | .TP | ||
38 | niro | 1334 | \fB-\-dracut\fR |
39 | When creating a new initial ram filesystem image, use dracut(8) rather | ||

48 | Create modules.dep and related files. | ||
49 | |||

52 | Remove modules.dep and related files. | ||
53 | |||
54 | .TP | ||
55 | \fB-\-kernel-args\fR=\fIargs\fR | ||

59 | \fB-\-remove-args\fR=\fIargs\fR | ||
60 | Remove specified kernel arguments for this kernel. | ||
61 | |||

65 | |||
66 | .TP | ||
67 | \fB-\-multiboot\fR=\fImultiboot-image\fR | ||
68 | Use \fImultiboot-image\fR as a multiboot image. | ||
69 | |||
70 | .TP | ||
71 | \fB-\-mbargs\fR=\fImbargs\fR | ||

73 | |||
74 | .TP | ||
75 | \fB-\-make-default\fR | ||
