What distro are you using?
Most distros that need an initrd will automatically create one when you install them. For Slackware, you need to make your own initrd for booting the generic kernel as per the instructions in the /boot/README.initrd file.
So post back with what distro you are using, and why you need to make your own initrd???

And welcome to the LQ forums!

In ubuntu mkinitramfs command is used instead of mkinitrd

Code:
sudo mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.25 2.6.25

Tommcd posted at 5:49. Don't be so quick to criticise. You may not have all the facts.

The OP did not list the distro he is using when I first replied to his post. Note that he edited his post after I responded to it.

Abid Malik,
Anyway, Sem007 listed the correct way to create an initrd in Ubuntu. You can also use
update-initramfs to create a new initrd. See this:
