I created an initrd which contains ext3 and jbd modules (otherwise my domU systems were mounted with ext2).

I added a line to the guest config file:

ramdisk = /boot/test.img

However, it seems to be ignored: system is still mounted as ext2, and in logs, I can see that the "ramdisk" line is empty:

INFO (image:132) buildDomain os=linux dom=25 vcpus=1
DEBUG (image:170) dom            = 25
DEBUG (image:171) image          = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen
DEBUG (image:172) store_evtchn   = 1
DEBUG (image:173) console_evtchn = 2
DEBUG (image:174) cmdline        =  root=/dev/sda5 ro 3
DEBUG (image:174) cmdline        =  root=/dev/sda5 ro 3
DEBUG (image:175) ramdisk        =
DEBUG (image:176) vcpus          = 1

What am I missing here?

I already tried different initrd files, but none was used as "ramdisk" by xen.
