Yes and yes. initrd requires built modules from somewhere to put into the 
ramdisk. If you use a distro supplied kernel, then the modules that came with 
it will suffice. I find the trick to getting initrd to work without a lot 
of --with's and --preload's (ie - guessing) is to run it within the domu 
itself, so that initrd has the domu's viewpoint of what virtual devices are 
present, even for pv domus. If you don't have the domu running yet, create it 
with a kernel-xen first, then boot it and install your pvops kernel and 
ramdisk.
