Om initramfs

Det eneste formålet med en initramfs er å montere root filsystemet. initramfs er et komplett sett med mapper som du finner på et normalt root filsystem. Den er samlet i et enkelt cpio arkiv og komprimert med en av flere komprimeringsalgoritmer.

Ved oppstart laster oppstartslasteren inn kjernen og initramfs bildet inn i minnet og starter kjernen. Kjernen sjekker tilstedeværelsen av initramfs og, hvis funnet, monterer den som / og kjører /init. Init programmet er vanligvis et skallskript. Merk at oppstartsprosessen tar lengre tid, muligens betydelig lengre, hvis en initramfs brukes.

For de fleste distribusjoner er kjernemoduler den største grunnen til å ha en initramfs. I en generell distribusjon er det mange ukjente slikt som filsystemtyper og diskoppsett. På en måte er dette det motsatte av LFS hvor systemkapasiteten og oppsettet er kjent og en tilpasset kjerne er normalt bygget. I denne situasjonen er det sjeldent behov for initramfs.

Det er bare fire primære grunner til å ha en initramfs i et LFS miljø: laste rootfs fra et nettverk, laste det fra et LVM logisk volum, ha en kryptert rootfs der et passord kreves, eller for enkelhets skyld å spesifisere rootfs som en LABEL eller UUID. Hva som helst annet betyr vanligvis at kjernen ikke var riktig konfigurert.

Bygge en initramfs

Hvis du bestemmer deg for å bygge en initramfs, vil følgende skript gi et grunnlag for å gjøre det. Skriptene vil tillate å spesifisere en rootfs via partisjon UUID eller partisjon LABEL eller en rootfs på en LVM logisk volum. De støtter ikke et kryptert rootfilsystem eller montering rootfs over et nettverkskort. For en mer fullstendig funksjon se LFS Hint eller dracut.

For å installere disse skriptene, kjør følgende kommandoer som root bruker:

cat > /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs << "EOF"
#!/bin/bash

Bruke en initramfs

Påkrevde Kjøretids Avhengigheter

cpio-2.15

Andre Kjøretids Avhengigheter

LVM2-2.03.23 og/eller mdadm-4.2 må installeres før generering av initramfs, hvis systempartisjonen bruker dem.

For å bygge en initramfs, kjør følgende som root bruker:

mkinitramfs [KERNEL VERSION]

Det valgfrie argumentet er mappen der de aktuelle kjernenmodulene er plassert. Dette må være en undermappe av /lib/modules. Hvis ingen moduler er spesifisert, så blir initramfs navngitt initrd.img-no-kmods. Hvis en kjerneversjon er spesifisert, får initrd navnet initrd.img-$KERNEL_VERSION og er bare passende for den spesifiserte kjernen. Utdatafilen vil bli plassert i gjeldende mappe.

Hvis tidlig lasting av mikrokode er nødvendig (se the section called “Mikrokodeoppdateringer for CPUer”), du kan installere passende blob eller beholder i /lib/firmware. Den blir automatisk lagt til initrd når mkinitramfs kjøres.

Etter å ha generert initrd, kopier den til /boot mappen.

Rediger nå /boot/grub/grub.cfg og legg til en ny menyinngang. Nedenfor er flere eksempler.

# Generic initramfs and root fs identified by UUID
menuentry "LFS Dev (LFS-7.0-Feb14) initrd, Linux 3.0.4"
{
  linux  /vmlinuz-3.0.4-lfs-20120214 root=UUID=54b934a9-302d-415e-ac11-4988408eb0a8 ro
  initrd /initrd.img-no-kmods
}
# Generic initramfs and root fs on LVM partition
menuentry "LFS Dev (LFS-7.0-Feb18) initrd lvm, Linux 3.0.4"
{
  linux  /vmlinuz-3.0.4-lfs-20120218 root=/dev/mapper/myroot ro
  initrd /initrd.img-no-kmods
}
# Specific initramfs and root fs identified by LABEL
menuentry "LFS Dev (LFS-7.1-Feb20) initrd label, Linux 3.2.6"
{
  linux  /vmlinuz-3.2.6-lfs71-120220 root=LABEL=lfs71 ro
  initrd /initrd.img-3.2.6-lfs71-120220
}

Til slutt starter du systemet på nytt og velger ønsket system.
