I have
  INITRD_MODULE="piix jdb ext3 raid1 dm_mod"

I am using your patched mkinitrd which correctly builds
the initrd. I have reproduced the serial console output
below. That shows modules ide_cd, dm_snapshot, md
and ide_core also present.
raid6 is absent.


Note for the boot messages below, I am using raid1
but I only have one disk attached! The other disk of the
pair has data on it that I don't want to wipe. I believe
using just the one disk did not affect the outcome. The
system behaved the same as in an earlier test where I
had both disks present. And of course the system boots
fine with a non-xen kernel.

Also note that near the end, the init script helpfully
dumps you into a shell, so I ran a few commands.

PS I should also add that the ide drive for /dev/hda
is working OK because I was able to mount /dev/hda1
(the /boot filesystem) onto /mnt. It just struck me that
that would be an easy root to smuggle in some debugging
tools!
