Just grab the xz package.
I roll initrds (for a custom pxe boot setup) on a CentOS 5.8 host. I've rerolled the initrd for 6.2 some time ago and you've reminded me to take care of 6.3 today.

What format is the images/pxeboot/initrd.img file on the DVD ?
Its not gzip its not straight cpio
What is it? I wish to change it.
I'm finding information on changing the gzip version of initrd but not the PXE one.
If I do "file initrd.img" it just says data.
I ran into this also. It's compressed using xz. You will probably need to be on an rhel6/centos6 system to manage the image.
Thanks,
