%description
Mkinitrd creates file system images for use as initial RAM disk
(initrd) images.  These RAM disk images are often used to preload the
block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root file
system.

In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
SCSI adapters that load the SCSI driver as a module.  Because the
kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case is not able to
address the SCSI adapter, an initial RAM disk is used.	The initial RAM
disk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is
available to the kernel as soon as the RAM disk is loaded.  The RAM
disk loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the
root file system.

- quote variables in mkinitramfs for here documents
* Tue Mar 09 2004 - olh@suse.de
- add mkinitramfs as mkinitrd on ppc
  mounts /dev as tmpfs, requires 2.6 kernel
* Wed Mar 03 2004 - agruen@suse.de
- A small cleanup in the mkinitrd script.
* Mon Mar 01 2004 - agruen@suse.de
- Clean up vga mode parsing for the boot splash.
- Mount /proc and /sys at the beginning of linuxrc, and unmount
  them at the end.
- Add iscsi support (patch from David Wysochanski
  <davidw@netapp.com> via Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de>).
- Update dasd configuration to kernel 2.6.
* Thu Feb 26 2004 - agruen@suse.de

- Fix syntax error in linuxrc.
* Tue Feb 24 2004 - agruen@suse.de
- mkinitrd: Too much quoting removed in last change.
* Tue Feb 24 2004 - agruen@suse.de
- Clean up the code in several places. Use $(..) instead of `..`.
- Add special case for /dev/cciss/* devices. A better solution is
  required; there are a lot more cases where there is no trivial
  mapping between the device inode under /dev and its sysfs entry.
* Mon Feb 23 2004 - agruen@suse.de
- mkinitrd:
  + Clean up some s390 specific stuff.
  + Add & use do_chroot function.
  + Instead of parsing /etc/modules.conf, parse the output of
  modprobe -c.
- new-kernel-pkg: Merge almost-identical lilo + elilo cases.
* Fri Feb 20 2004 - agruen@suse.de

  beacuse it was not committed to the CVS).
* Fri Nov 21 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Update for 2.6 kernel on s390 and zSeries (hare@suse.de).
- Invoke /sbin/elilo to update the efi partition on ia64.
* Tue Nov 18 2003 - kukuk@suse.de
- Loading SELinux policy: Add patch from Carsten Grohmann for
  better output.
* Tue Nov 11 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Scan kernel cmdline, and pass scsi parameters to scsi_mod:
  Otherwise no scsi params can be passed on the cmdline.
* Tue Oct 28 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Add `-C /etc/modprobe.conf' only if this file actually exists:
  The modprobe for 2.6 kernels can also run without a config
  file.
* Mon Oct 27 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Increase the initial initrd image size: 10000 1k blocks
  is too small for the k_debug kernel.
* Thu Oct 23 2003 - agruen@suse.de

- From bk@suse.de: Some zfcp fixes.
* Wed Oct 15 2003 - kukuk@suse.de

- Always use mount/umount -n in initrd
- Always create initrd if selinux support is requested
* Wed Oct 15 2003 - kukuk@suse.de
- Add optional selinux support
* Fri Oct 10 2003 - schwab@suse.de
- Fix typo.

- Skip over linux-gate.so.1, which is a library mapped into the
  process by 2.6 kernels.
* Thu Oct 09 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Fix vga mode parsing (wrongly was taking "ex" for a hex number).
- Use generic versions of libraries: On some systems we have
  generic as well as optimized libraries, but the optimized
  libraries may not work with all kernel versions.
* Thu Oct 02 2003 - bk@suse.de
- fix initrd creation on S/390(only tested w/ dasd, not with zfcp!)
- pass module parameters from /etc/modules.conf to linuxrc
* Wed Oct 01 2003 - schwab@suse.de
- new-kernel-pkg: handle elilo.
* Mon Sep 29 2003 - kukuk@suse.de
- Add %%defattr
* Mon Sep 29 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- There is no mkdir in the initrd: Create all needed directories
  when creating the initrd.  Use `mkdir -p' instead of `mkdir'.
- A minor cleanup.
* Tue Sep 23 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- The previous change from using killall to kill was incomplete
  (kill is located in /bin; killall is in /usr/bin).
- Temporary mount shm to /etc/lvmtab.d to create space for lvm
  commands (#26073).
- Add some changes that got lost with the previous update.
* Fri Sep 19 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- new-kernel-pkg: Change /dev/stderr to &2 -- otherwise it fails
  in build envs.
* Thu Sep 18 2003 - kraxel@suse.de
- linuxrc does rootfs device scan via sysfs after loading the
  modules.  2.6.x kernels only, fixes bug #30771.
* Tue Sep 16 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Add missing $root_dir prefixes, and replace some remaining
  occurrences of `/boot' with $boot_dir.
- Prevent readlink macro from printing an error message for missing
  files (the "real" readlink also fails without messages).
- Add xfs_dmapi and xfs_support to the list of modules that may
  be missing without causing an error (they no longer exist).
- Add md to list of introduced modules.
- temporarly mount shm to /etc in the linuxrc script to have more
  space available for lvm commands (#26073).
* Thu Sep 04 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Add xfs_dmapi and xfs_support to the list of modules that may
  be missing without causing an error (they no longer exist).
- Fix typo, add md to list of introduced modules, minor clean-ups.
* Mon Sep 01 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Put mkinird script under cvs control, and remove the inconsistent
  change log that used to be part of the script. The repository
  location is: /suse/yast2/cvsroot/mkinitrd/.
- Remove now-obsolete oem resize support.
* Mon Sep 01 2003 - mls@suse.de
- dhcp: allow servername in rootpath (#29791)
* Sun Aug 31 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Fix broken check: mount, umount and the surrounding files were
  missing in initrd's.
* Wed Aug 27 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Prevent mkinitrd warnings for scsi_mod and sd_mod, which may
  have been added to INITRD_MODULES implicitly after a kernel
  update.
- Another minor fix in the ACPI DSDT code.
* Tue Aug 26 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Clean up ACPI DSDT code.
- Add internal option use_static_binaries than can be turned off
  to use dynamically linked binaries (for bug hunting).
- Fix for systems that don't have a modprobe.old binary.
* Mon Aug 25 2003 - ro@suse.de
- fix syntax error in last change
* Fri Aug 22 2003 - trenn@suse.de
- Added support to attach an DSDT (acpi) to the initrd
  there will exist a kernel option soon, to load a DSDT from
  the initrd and substitute the DSDT from the BIOS.
  The compiled DSDT can be indicated either in /etc/sysconfig/kernel for permanent
  load or the path to the DSDT can be given to mkinitrd  via the -a parameter
* Thu Aug 14 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Don't depend on /usr/bin/readlink utility: it is not present
  on older distributions.
* Fri Aug 08 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Automatically also require sd_mod (SCSI disk) if scsi_mod is
  required: It is reasonable to assume that the root file system
  is on a SCSI disk in that case.
* Fri Aug 08 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Fix a check in mkinird script: No need to invoke initrd on
  /boot/vmlinuz if that file is a symlink.
- Update mkinitrd help text.
* Tue Aug 05 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Don't call rpm from inside mkinitrd: mkinitrd is itself called
  from rpm in the binary kernel packages; recursive rpm is not
  possible.
- Fix bugs if mkinitrd is called with a different root directory.
- Unclutter mkinitrd's output.
- #28484: Use kill instead of killall in the initrd in the dhcp
  specific code: killall apparently would require an additional
  shared library.
* Thu Jul 31 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Fix heuristic for recognizing installed kernel RPMs and their
  binary image files.
- If /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-$VERSION and
  /boot/initrd is a regular file, replace /boot/initrd with a
  symbolic link to /boot/initrd-$VERSION when creating that
  initrd image. This ensures that /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd
  belong to the same kernel.
* Mon Jul 28 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Fix test which version of modprobe to use (was testing
  for 2.5.*).
* Wed Jul 16 2003 - kraxel@suse.de
- fix creation of mk_initrd link.
* Wed Jul 02 2003 - kraxel@suse.de
- build initrds for all installed kernel rpms.
- fix 2.5.x issues.
* Fri Jun 06 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- new-kernel-pkg was in DOS file format: How did *that* happen ??
- mkinitrd:
  + Recognize correctly if no modules are being used.
  + Pipe config file to depmod via stdin so chroot doesn't matter.
* Fri Jun 06 2003 - schwab@suse.de
- Handle LOADER_TYPE elilo.
- Fix syntax errors.
* Wed Jun 04 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Merge in improved mkinitrd script. There are a number of
  comments tagged with FIXME that seem unclear to me.
* Tue Jun 03 2003 - stepan@suse.de
- Get bootsplash theme name dynamically from sysconfig file.
  This obsoletes SuSEconfig.bootsplash
* Mon May 26 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Remove initial install vs. upgrade logic from new-kernel-pkg
  script. This is better dealt with in the k_* spec files. Invoke
  new-kernel-pkg script with the version of the kernel as $1
  (e.g., "2.4.20-99-default").
- Adjust installkernel script to new-kernel-pkg changes.
* Thu May 22 2003 - agruen@suse.de
- Split /sbin/mk_initrd from aaa_base.
- New /sbin/installkernel that is used be `make install' in the
  kernel sources.
- New /sbin/new-kernel-pkg scripts that kicks the boot loader
  (mainly lilo) after the kernel/initrd image has changed.
