Hi,
when trying to use a kernel/initrd from SL5.1 i686 Xen dom0 (right now,
the /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5xen.img and corresponding kernel) as
a kernel for domU, the domU won't boot when it's set up to use /dev/xvda
for root (that's how Xen exports virtual block devices to Xen).

The solution we use is to run `mkinitrd -f -v --preload=xenblk
--preload=xennet /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5xen.img.preloadedxen
2.6.18-53.1.21.el5xen` to create a new initrd, which is trivial, but
annoying. Would it be possible to add this to the kernel-xen RPM?

Cheers,
-jkt
