Summary : Generator for initrd images using distro packages
URL : https://github.com/systemd/mkosi-initrd
License : LGPL-2.1-or-later
Description : This is a generator for initrd images (cpio archives compressed with zstd).
: The initrd is created by downloading rpms and installing them into a temporary
: location. This is different than the usual approach, where files from the host
: are used. In the initrd, only systemd is used, and no special runtime is used.
: This means that only things which are supported by normal packages will work.
:
: The package provides a kernel-install plugin that will automatically create an
: initrd during kernel package installation. This initrd will then be picked up by
: kernel-install and used in the Boot Loader Specification entry.
:
: Initrds created in this way support some common machine types, but no more:
: - plain partitions
: - LVM2
: - LUKS
