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 | ||

31 | |||
32 | .TP | ||
33 | niro | 1334 | \fB-\-dracut\fR |
34 | When creating a new initial ram filesystem image, use dracut(8) rather | ||

38 | niro | 1183 | \fB-\-initrdfile\fR=\fIinitrd-image\fR |
39 | Use the specified file as the initial ram filesystem image. | ||
40 | |||
41 | .TP | ||
42 | \fB-\-depmod\fR | ||
43 | Create modules.dep and related files. | ||
44 | |||
45 | .TP | ||
46 | \fB-\-rmmoddep\fR | ||
47 | Remove modules.dep and related files. | ||
48 | |||
49 | .TP | ||
50 | \fB-\-kernel-args\fR=\fIargs\fR | ||
51 | Use \fIargs\fR as the boot command line for this kernel. | ||
52 | |||
53 | .TP | ||
54 | \fB-\-remove-args\fR=\fIargs\fR | ||
55 | Remove specified kernel arguments for this kernel. | ||
56 | |||
57 | .TP | ||
58 | \fB-\-banner\fR=\fIbanner\fR | ||
59 | Display \fIbanner\fR as the banner text in the bootloader. | ||
60 | |||
61 | .TP | ||
62 | \fB-\-multiboot\fR=\fImultiboot-image\fR | ||
63 | Use \fImultiboot-image\fR as a multiboot image. | ||
64 | |||
65 | .TP | ||
66 | \fB-\-mbargs\fR=\fImbargs\fR | ||
67 | Use \fImbargs\fR as arguments to the multiboot image. | ||
68 | |||
69 | .TP | ||
70 | \fB-\-make-default\fR | ||
71 | Make this kernel the default boot option. | ||
72 | |||
73 | .TP | ||
74 | niro | 1334 | \fB-\-add-dracut-args\fR |
75 | Automatically generate dracut options and add them to the kernel command line. | ||
76 | |||
77 | .TP | ||
78 | \fB-\-add-plymouth-initrd\fR | ||
79 | Automatically add plymouth to the initial ram filesystem image. | ||
80 | |||
81 | .TP | ||
82 | \fB-\-host-only\fR | ||
83 | Make an initial ram filesystem image that is specific to the running system. | ||
84 | |||

95 | Update the specified kernel. | ||
96 | |||
97 | .TP | ||
