You'll have to run "depmod" on your xen-kernel-modules to get the modules.dep 
file required by mkinitrd.

if you can boot into xen0 without your initrd, a simple "depmod" call should 
do the trick, otherwise you'll have to supply the kernel version for your xen 
kernel to it, like when your modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.11.12-xen,
call "depmod 2.6.11.12-xen"
