Re: [Xen-devel] [Fwd: Installing from distribution CDs]

While I can't speak to the cause, I do know that XenCD does need a
init=/linuxrc on the kernel boot line to function properly. I
didn't/don't think this should be necessary, given my experience with
initrds in other environments. Please feel free to use it as a
working case study, if you will.
Your /linuxrc is actually an init process. You should probably have a
symlink from it to /sbin/init.
initrd is actually a fairly complicated process. The idea is to allow
an executable (/linuxrc) to run prior to init to allow distros to do
things like load modules. When /linuxrc exits the normal init process
is continued.
What makes things a little more complicated is that initrd does some
weird things with remounting the root file system and has some subtle
side-effects. That's why Xen should probably just call the kernels code...
