This is probably the wrong list for such a question - future usage questions should be directed to xen-user

Take a look at the README file. It will describe how to generate an initrd in section 5:

5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config:

   # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
   # make linux-2.6-xen-build
   # make linux-2.6-xen-install

  Depending on your config, you may need to use 'mkinitrd' to create
  an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g.
   # depmod 2.6.18-xen
# mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen

  Other systems may requires the use of 'mkinitramfs' to create the
  ram disk.
   # depmod 2.6.18-xen
   # mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen

Folks,

  Mercurial is selectable as an installation in
OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST.

  I have:

hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg

make dist
sh ./install.sh

It appears to have installed properly, but it has not created the required module /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
