 I did that before I sent the earlier mail. That doesn't seem to work, and I 
would guess that this would be the command with which the actual initrd would 
have been created, and so I didn't really expect that to work. Thanks a lot for 
the suggestion. I hope the folks at fedora would have some idea of how to get 
xen running on their setup.
