NAME

       update-miniramfs - generate a miniramfs image

SYNOPSIS

       update-miniramfs {-c|-d|-u} [-k version]
       update-miniramfs -h

DESCRIPTION

       The  update-miniramfs  script  manages  your miniramfs images on your local box.  It keeps
       track of the existing miniramfs archives in /boot.  There are  three  modes  of  operation
       create, update or delete.  You must at least specify one of those modes.

       The  miniramfs  is a gzipped cpio archive containing the absolute minimum required to find
       and load the real initramfs. Once this is loaded boot is handed off to the initramfs.

OPTIONS

       -k  version
              Set the specific kernel version to generate  a  miniramfs  for.   For  example  the
              output  of  uname -r for your currently running kernel.  This argument is mandatory
              for create/delete and ignored for update.

       -c     This mode creates a new miniramfs archive.

       -u     This mode updates all miniramfs  archives  and  creates  new  ones  for  all  newly
              installed kernels.

       -d     This mode deletes an existing miniramfs archive.

       -h, --help
              Print a short help page describing the available options in update-miniramfs.

EXAMPLES

       Update the miniramfs of all installed kernels (including those currently without miniramfs
       archives):

       update-miniramfs -u

       Create the miniramfs for a specific kernel:

       update-miniramfs -c -k 6.0.0-6-amd64
