Including module parameters in a boot configuration

7.1 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

Module parameters for modules that are required early during the boot process must be included in the boot configuration.

About this task

Your distribution might use an initial RAM disk when booting. Follow these steps to provide module parameters for modules that are included in an initial RAM disk:
  1. Make your configuration changes with the tools that your distribution provides.
  2. Using the tools that your Linux distribution provides, recreate the initial RAM disk to include the module parameters.
  3. Run zipl to include the new RAM disk in your boot configuration.

The distribution tools might run mkinitrd and zipl for you when saving changes you have made.
