| Right now, most of the testing is done using a qemu/kvm guest and |
| generating the initramfs on another box but the support is all present |
| to build for the "running" machine. For the former, you can boot the guest |
| using qemu's -kernel and -initrd options. |
| |
| dracut exists and will build an image. It is command-line equivalent |
| to most mkinitrd implementations and should be pretty straight-forward |
| to use. |
| |
| To use, just run dracut with an output file name and, optionally, a |
| kernel version (it defaults to using the current). The appropriate |
| modules will be copied over and things should be good to go. If you'd |
| like to customize the list of modules copied in, edit /etc/dracut.conf |
| and set |
| dracutmodules="foo bar baz" |
| |
| Note that dracut calls functional components in modules.d "modules" |
| while kernel modules are called "drivers". |

| Requirements: |
| * udev |
| * nfs module: nfs daemon and rpc helper |
| * iscsi: iscsi |
