Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem

[Ben Guthro <bguthro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is probably the wrong list for such a question - future usage 
questions should be directed to xen-user
Take a look at the README file. It will describe how to generate an 
initrd in section 5:
5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config:

   # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
   # make linux-2.6-xen-build
   # make linux-2.6-xen-install

  Depending on your config, you may need to use 'mkinitrd' to create
  an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g.
   # depmod 2.6.18-xen
   # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod 
initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
  Other systems may requires the use of 'mkinitramfs' to create the
  ram disk.
   # depmod 2.6.18-xen
   # mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen
