%description
Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
images.  These ramdisk 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 LILO) 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/modules.conf file.

- import from ultrapenguin 1.1.

* Tue Oct 20 1998 Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
- fix for combined sparc/sparc64 insmod, also pluto module is really
  fc4:soc:pluto and we don't look at deps, so special case it.

* Sat Aug 29 1998 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
- replaced --needs-scsi-mods (which is now the default) with
  --omit-scsi-mods

* Fri Aug  7 1998 Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com>
- correct obscure regex/shell interaction (hardwires tabs on line 232)

* Mon Jan 12 1998 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
- added 'make archive' rule to Makefile
- rewrote install procedure for more robust version handling
- be smarter about grabbing options from /etc/conf.modules

* Mon Oct 20 1997 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
- made it use /bin/ash.static

* Wed Apr 16 1997 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
- Only use '-s' to install binaries if /usr/bin/strip is present.
- Use an image size of 2500 if binaries can't be stripped (1500 otherwise)
- Don't use "mount -o loop" anymore -- losetup the proper devices manually
- Requires losetup, e2fsprogs

* Wed Mar 12 1997 Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com>
- Fixed a bug in parsing options.
- Changed to use a build tree, then copy the finished tree into the
  image after it is built.
- Added patches derived from ones written by Christian Hechelmann which
  add an option to put the kernel version number at the end of the module
  name and use install -s to strip binaries on the fly.
