I have not yet upgraded the newest reinstall of Slackware. I wanted to test workflow first, to see what it does and and how it works out

mkinitrd -c -k 5.15.19 -f ext4 -r /dev/nvme0n1p4 -m xhci-pci:ohci-pci:ehci-pci:xhci-hcd:uhci-hcd:ehci-hcd:hid:usbhid:i2c-hid:hid_generic:hid-asus:hid-cherry:hid-logitech:hid-logitech-dj:hid-logitech-hidpp:hid-lenovo:hid-microsoft:hid_multitouch:jbd2:mbcache:crc32c_intel:crc32c_generic:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz

If it's ok this will create the initrd.gz
Code:
$(/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -r -k $kernel_version)
Then edit elilo.conf

If you have multiple kernel and initrds add
Code:
-o /boot/initrd-$version.gz
at the previous command
Code:
# $(/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -r -k 5.15.19) -o /boot/initrd-5.15.19.gz

/boot/initrd-5.15.19.gz created.
Be sure to run lilo again if you use it.
Do this look ok?

As far as I understand, I need a vmlinuz and a corresponding initrd, which was just generated. The one that comes with a fresh install, has no version number. Do the system just pick the one it can find?

Looks OK to me. No errors at any rate.

No, you have to tell elilo what to boot using the elilo.conf file. If you mount your ESP (usually it gets mounted on /boot/efi) and look at elilo.conf, you will see a stanza telling elilo the name of the kernel and of the matching initrd that it is to boot. If you have multiple kernels and initrds you must give them more specific names (for instance vmlinuz-5.15.27 and initrd-5.15.27) and then create an elilo entry for each pair. I like to do this in an ordinary hand edit so I know what I am doing.

15.0 includes a new script to generate the initrd
Code:
$ which geninitrd
/usr/sbin/geninitrd
I always do slackpkg, then geninitrd, then a few manual cp commands.
Code:
root:~# cd /boot
root:/boot# cp vmlinuz-generic  efi/EFI/Slackware/vmlinuz 
root:/boot# cp initrd
initrd-tree/ initrd.gz    
root:/boot# cp initrd.gz efi/EFI/Slackware/initrd.gz
Anything more fancy than that is an excellent excercise for the user
