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
