Not necessarily.  domU initrd aren't usually necessary as far as I know,
but I have made several of them on the same distribution and version as
you on that type of blade with commands like

cd /lib/modules
depmod 2.6.12.6-xenU
mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xenU.img 2.6.12.6-
xenU

Can you post output from 'xm create -c' for your domU as well as the
domU configuration?

Good luck.
