Mm, I have a big Quad-Opteron.. thing.. that I'm trying to get Xen onto. I've used the 3.0.2 binary-install mode, updated menu.lst as per the README, but I need an initrd which contains the HP cciss RAID driver, and no Xen initrd image was installed into /boot.

Now I notice xen-3.0.2-2-install/install/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/kernel/drivers /block/cciss.ko

But I can't get this into an initrd; the Xen README suggests using "mkinitrd -v -f --with=cciss" etc. but the version of mkinitrd in Debian does not support that syntax. Any ideas? Where can I get that version of mkinitrd that does support "--with" syntax?

Cheers,
Gavin.
