Well here is how I built my initrd's for an older kernel 
(for what its worth):

#mkinitrd -v -f -with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod \
initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.img 2.6.16.13-xen

#cp initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.img /boot

Note that this isn't a Xen thing so much as a general Linux thing.  
Googling for initrd should help you out.
