I have downloaded the RHEL 5 x86_64 cds, loop mounted disk 1, I have taken off 
the /isolinux/{initrd.img,vmlinux} and /images/xen/{initrd.img,vmlinux} files

When I boot from the /isolinux files, seems like the kernel is not xen'ed so 
will not boot. When I try and boot from the /images/xen, it boots, but it can't 
find any block devices.  



Any idea's hints ? is this the wrong list to be posting to ?
