NAME

8       mkrlconf - Create a Linux kernel configuration file for rEFInd
9

SYNOPSIS

11       mkrlconf [ --force ]
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       To  boot a Linux kernel directly, rEFInd must normally pass system-spe‐
16       cific parameters to help the kernel locate its initial RAM  disk  (ini‐
17       trd) file, the installation's root filesystem, and so on. rEFInd stores
18       this information in a file called refind_linux.conf, which is stored in
19       the  same  directory as the kernel(s) to which it applies. The mkrlconf
20       script creates this configuration file in /boot, using the current boot
21       options  (from  /proc/cmdline) to populate /boot/refind_linux.conf with
22       boot options that are probably (but not certainly) correct.
23
24       The file created in this way has three lines, which correspond to three
25       entries  on the rEFInd suboptions menu. The first entry boots using the
26       options found in /proc/cmdline. The second entry boots using  the  same
27       options as the first, but with single added. The third entry boots with
28       minimal  options  of   ro   root={CURRENT_ROOT_DEVICE},   where   {CUR‐
29       RENT_ROOT_DEVICE} identifies the current root (/) filesystem. Users may
30       manually edit the  refind_linux.conf  file  to  suit  their  needs,  of
31       course.

OPTIONS

35       --force
36              Ordinarily,    if   mkrlconf   finds   an   existing   /boot/re‐
37              find_linux.conf file, it refuses to replace it. The --force  op‐
38              tion  causes  mkrlconf  to replace the existing file in favor of
39              one it generates.
