Harry,

One comment that I have is that "mkinitird" options differs for different distros. For example on SUSE distros it is "mkinitrd -k <kernel> -I <initrd>". Is it possible to have the command change depending on the distro?

For what it is worth, here is the break down of the Mandriva tool.

NAME mkinitrd - creates initial ramdisk images for preloading modules

SYNOPSIS mkinitrd [--version] [-v] [-f] [--preload=module] [--with=module] [--omit-scsi-modules] [--omit-raid-modules] [--image-version] [--fstab=fstab] [--nocompress] [--builtin=module] [--nopivot] [--noudev] [--allow-missing] [--tmpdir=tmpdir] [--initrdfs=fs] [--dsdt[=dsdt.aml]] [--lvm-version=1|2] [--force-usb] image kernel-version
