Detailsmkinitrd, when called with the kernel_version=<my.custom.version> parameter, produces an image called initrd-<my.custom.version>.img. Could we have a facility to rename the image, as in the following example:
mkinitrd kernel_version=2.6.15-custom --name=kernel26custom The image would be called kernel26custom.img, and the messages on screen after the image is created would use the new image name. I've attached a small patch, which works for me here.
