mkinitrd has been built in dockyard-devel. Name : mkinitrd Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 5.0.17 Vendor: (none) Release : 10ark Build Date: Thu 04 Oct 2007 07:30:43 AM CDT Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: localhost.localdomain Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: (none) Size : 114209 License: GPL Signature : (none) Summary : Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules. Description : Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ram filesystem (initramfs) images. These images are often used to preload the block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem. In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally GRUB) and is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program creates such a ramdisk using information found in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. * Thu Oct 04 2007 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <[email protected]> 5.0.17-10ark - Support uvesafb - Build nash against dietlibc * Mon Sep 10 2007 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <[email protected]> 5.0.17-9ark - Fix installation on boxes with AHCI SATA chips
