ugh.... after doing inglorious battle, I return. It's definitely situation (1). The error messages haven't changed. Inside the init file, should the paths references be from the point of view of Dom0? <br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: courier new,monospace;">

</div>If you followed these directions, you're probably scratching your head. I screwed up. The initrd is actually a cpio archive, so:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
1. mkinitrd --with=xenblk --with=xennet --preload=xenblk --preload=xennet <img> <version><br>
(yes, that's the original one without the fstab)<br>
</div>2. mkdir /root/initrd-blah<br>
3. cd /root/initrd-blah<br>
4. gunzip -c /boot/initrd-blah.img | cpio -idmv<br>
5. vi /root/initrd-blah/init<br>
6. find . -print | cpio -o | gzip -c > /boot/initrd-blah.img<br>
