plymouth message after changing hdd to other machine

What is the command line to redo an initrd ? "mkinitrd -g -k ?something?"

Hi Melodie;

An example (the -f tells mkinitrd to replace the existing initrd.img file)

mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.33.4-pclos1.pae.img 2.6.33.4-pclos1.pae

replace with whatever kernel you want to update.

Hi all,
Why is the argument in 2 parts here ? (therefore same question for pag's `uname -r` argument method)

Thanks !

The first part specifies the name of the initrd image, the second part the kernel it is to be associated with.

Code: [Select]

mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`
That should take care of handling the appropriate kernel

Most elegant and functional.

This one goes into my Important Stuff.txt file.

Thanks.

...I borked mine testing out different plymouth themes a week or two ago; since then if I boot to init 5 the handoff from plymouth to X / KDM doesn't happen... I get dumped to a black screen with no keyboard/mouse.   The switch-themes script didn't fix it and I couldn't recall how to do this at the time..  

Since then I've been booting to init 3 with splash=verbose and then starting KDM manually.. (I rarely turn of the PC off so it's not too much of an inconvienience).  Tonight I shall be using this.. and like John it will archived for future use (in my forum history for easy searching!).
