if you're not using sata/scsi/raid drives, you can remove the --with options

but as I wrote before this is exactly what I am doing:

mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen

without this it doesn't make the initrd..

to build the image file manually, you can check xen user manual.
Basically, you just manually type the "mkinitrd" command

It will still report the error but anyway it generates the image file

I have enabled every possible sata driver, as a module, and I have also tried to enable it as builtin, plus I have tried different ones, cause there is the sata under SCSI - low level drivers and also a module under ATA/ATAPI - PCI IDE - GENERIC PCI - ATI IXP
this module should be the one, it is called BLK_DEV_ATIIXP and it is enabled as a module in my .config
but the error is still there.
I am starting to think that I am editing a .config and make is reading another one...
anyway, how can I build the image manually?

did you enable the sata driver in the config?
anyway, you can manually build the image file following the xen manual.
then run the install script to copy them to the /boot

finally, try to boot the xen. If it fails, you should enable the sata driver in the menuconfig then rebuild.

yes, this is what I figured, but any attempt I made, always ended up with mkinitrd complaining about missing module pata_atiixp

you can do
"make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig" under xen's directory
or
cd build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64
make menuconfig

To make it short: "make prep-kernels" create a build directory for the
kernel ***where you can copy your .config file***.  DO NOT CREATE A
.config FILE IN THE KERNEL SOURCE TREE.

the HOWTO is nice
so I guess if I have to change some kernel settings I shall run "make menuconfig" inside the same

build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64/

folder, after prep-kernels, right?
