Generate customized manual initcpio

Generate customized manual initcpio

Users can generate an image using an alternative configuration file. For example, the following will generate an initramfs image according to the directions in /etc/mkinitcpio-custom.conf and save it at /boot/linux-custom.img.

# mkinitcpio -c /etc/mkinitcpio-custom.conf -g /boot/linux-custom.img

If generating an image for a kernel other than the one currently running, add the kernel version to the command line. You can see available kernel versions in /usr/lib/modules/.

# mkinitcpio -g /boot/linux-custom2.img -k 3.3.0-ARCH
