Fedora xen - Nov 2006 - Building and booting Dom0 in FC6

Hello there,

I am trying to build Xen0 image based on FC6 release. I have copied
kernel-2.6.18-i686-xen.config into a local directory and was able to
build Linux kernel with this configuration file. This gave me vmlinuz
file ready for Xen0 execution.

Now, I believe I would need an initrd to go with this image so that Xen0
boots up. What should I do? I don''t want to run ''make install
module_install'' and overwrite my existing configuration.  

This seems like basic stuff - is there some obvious documentation I am
missing I should refer to? 

Thanks a lot for your help.

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-i686-xen.img 2.6.18-i686-xen

Use whatever your linux/Makefile gives as version eg 2.6.18-1.2198

Somewhere on the redhat wiki probably.
