That''s probably because you didn''t run what I wrote. Running
mkinitrd -v --builtin=xen_vbd --preload=xenblk
initrd-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen.img 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen
(as per the link) should not give the error message about xen_vbd.
That''s what I use the --builtin switch for, making mkinitrd thinks the
module is already builtin in the kernel so it wouldn''t try to find it.
Xen-vbd module is needed for HVM guests using PV drivers, it''s not
needed for PV guests (which uses xenblk instead)

That''s why I wrote "edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so it looks like
this" :D
You need to adjust menu.lst manually

You should be able to use pxeboot + kickstart (or whatever method you
use) even when installing directly as PV domU, with a little effort.
