Unfortunately sarge's mkinitrd requires devfs for MD+LVM support, and
the kernels supported by xen do not have devfs any more.  I work that
around by sticking the attached script to /etc/mkinitrd/scripts/ before
running mkinitrd.

It's an ugly hack, but works.

You will need to change /dev/mapper/xena-dom0 in it to the name of your
root FS device file.

Hope that helps.
