Step 5 of the README
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
You may need to change the kernel version based on what you built.
Also some distros use different commands to build initrd files.
I actually forgot about this step for a second too.
Thanks,
Todd
